LEXINGTON, Ky. — The University of Kentucky College of Social Work is inviting students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to “take it back to the ballgame” for a night of community and celebration at the ballpark.
As part of the college’s recognition of National Social Work Month and National Criminal Justice Month, the College of Social Work will host a special outing at Kentucky Proud Park on Tuesday, March 31, when the Kentucky Wildcats baseball take on the Miami RedHawks baseball.
The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. EST and will feature several special moments celebrating the College of Social Work community. Advance registration is requested, and attendees can register online here.
Dean Jay Miller will throw the ceremonial first pitch to kick off the evening.
Fans attending the game can also stop by a special tabling experience hosted by the College’s Sport Social Work Research Lab. Student ambassadors and researchers will be on hand sharing information about the lab’s work at the intersection of athletics, mental health and community well-being, while distributing CoSW swag.
The evening is designed to bring the college community together in a relaxed, celebratory setting — blending America’s pastime with the values of connection, wellness and engagement that define the social work and criminal justice professions.
Guests can expect food, fun and opportunities to connect with students, faculty and supporters of the college while cheering on the Wildcats under the lights at Kentucky Proud Park.
