Grounded in a deep commitment to agriculture, food systems, natural resources and community development, our alumni network extends across Kentucky and around the world.

Through events, outreach and strategic partnerships, we foster meaningful relationships that support lifelong learning, professional growth and shared purpose. Alumni and donors play a vital role in advancing the college’s mission by offering time, talent and resources that shape future generations of leaders.
