About the Venue

#DCBSSelfCareSummit will be held at the University of Kentucky Gatton Student Center, the heart of student life on UK’s campus. Opened in 2018, the state-of-the-art facility replaced the original student center that had served the university community for more than 80 years, carrying forward its tradition as a place for connection, collaboration, and engagement. Located in the center of campus, the Gatton Student Center offers a welcoming, modern setting that reflects the University of Kentucky’s commitment to community, learning, and service.
