A connected, caring work community

Employee Affinity Groups (EAGs) are employee-led communities that provide opportunities to connect with colleagues, share experience and engage in personal and professional growth.

Each group brings together employees with common backgrounds or interests. All UK employees are welcome to participate in any group — whether to learn more, build relationships or contribute to conversations across the university.

For more information about the groups, please contact the HR EAG Liaison Azetta Beatty at Azetta.beatty@uky.edu.

"Years of service" refers to the number of years an employee has worked for the university.  The university makes these milestones easy to celebrate with service award pins. You'll find 3 styles of pins available to you and your team.

You might also consider giving a kudoboard just because! Make a Kudoboard
