Purpose of Org: The Student Bar Association serves as a de facto student government for the law school. The student body elects the SBA leadership to represent them with the deans, the university administration, and the larger legal community. Officers also work office hours to provide students with services and support throughout the school day. In addition, SBA serves as the primary social organization for the law school. We host a variety of social, athletic, and philanthropic events to boost student morale and encourage networking with faculty and legal professionals.
Type of Grant: Senate Special Project ($2,500)--Must Have a Sponsoring Senator
Event/Project: SBA Spring Philanthropy Drive
Location: Coldstream Park/Campus Pub/Toasted Barrel
Date: April 12/April 14/April 17
Time: 8:00 am/8:00 pm/6:30 pm
Purpose of Event/Project: RACE JUDICATA
Race Judicata is a 5k targeted at the Lexington and Northern KY legal communities. It raises money and builds support for UK's Legal Clinic. The clinic provides low-income Kentuckians with pro bono legal help and trains students from the College of Law in a variety of practice areas.
TRIVIA FOR THE TROOPS
The SBA hosts a trivia night for faculty, staff, and students in which entry fees and additional gifts are donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
LIBEL SHOW
Libel show is a night of entertainment, end-of-year awards, and professor skits. But more importantly, it's an auction raising money for grants to students who want to do pro bono summer work in either advocacy or public service. Faculty donate over-the-top and oddly law-school-specific prizes and the student body truly goes all out bidding against each other. Last year's libel show raised the most money in the school's history, and this year we are hoping to raise enough to add new grants specifically for a student working with impoverished populations abroad and a student working with veterans in need.
Total Cost: $2,100
Org funds used: We will commit what we can. Likely $100/event. However, our Philanthropy Drive funds are greatly reduced this year due to a bit of inadequate planning last year. Our funding comes exclusively from new member dues from incoming first year students. Our treasurer last year did not leave an adequate surplus to cover a lower-than-usual number of first year students joining SBA, which is what happened.

Phone: 2703208286
Purpose of Org: The purpose of the UK ASCE Student Chapter is to provide social, academic and professional opportunities for engineering students and future engineers by immersing them in an environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, seeking guidance, making contacts, and transitioning to their post-college careers. We accomplish this by hosting meetings where professional engineers come in and speak about their jobs, experience, and special projects. UK ASCE also hosts a mini-career fair exclusively for civil engineering focused firms to come in and recruit students for internships, co-ops, and permanent positions. We partner with the ASCE Bluegrass Branch and Kentucky Section on different events such as engineering forums, volunteering, and Engineers Day. The Kentucky Section is the professional society of ASCE for practicing engineers. A few ways we try to build friendships and foster camaraderie within the chapter are through volunteering activities and field trips. The two primary conferences we attend are the Workshop for Student Chapter Leaders (WSCL) and the Ohio Valley Student Conference (OVSC). The WSCL is a leadership retreat for officers while OVSC is a competition open to all of our members.
Type of Grant: Senate Special Project ($2,500)--Must Have a Sponsoring Senator
Event/Project: Ohio Valley Student Conference
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Date: March 27th - 29th
Time: Three day event
Purpose of Event/Project: The Ohio Valley Student Conference (OVSC) is an annual competition in which schools from the region get together and compete in events ranging from concrete canoe races, steel bridge builds, city design and planning, surveying, and innovative wastewater treatment. OVSC only permits engineering students in participating in events. The conference is hosted at a different university each year: this year’s conference is being hosted by CMU in Pittsburgh, PA. To prepare for the Ohio Valley Student Conference is a long and arduous process. Taking the concrete canoe from numbers and regulations in a rulebook, to a concept 3D drawing, to a mold made out of Styrofoam, and finally to its final shape takes an enormous amount of time and money. The same can be said about the effort and resources required to design and construct all the members of a steel bridge. Ordering all of the supplies necessary to complete these projects goes into the thousands of dollars very quickly. In previous years we have scraped by on the smallest of budgets and created very low quality canoes and bridges as a result, this year however we are going full speed ahead and fundraising as much as we can as well as putting in the effort to have competitive teams for each competition.
Total Cost: 12832
Org funds used: The UK Student chapter has committed $500.00 to the event, however we have been involved in exhaustive fundraising. The sponsors to our event so far are:

Time:
Purpose of Event/Project: Every year, SNPhA provides Blood Glucose screening at health fairs in churches and community centers across Fayette County. This past year, we have had events at Bracktown Baptist Church and William Wells Brown Community Center. The purpose of these events are to screen a population of people that are at high risk for diabetes and often do not have time or resources to see a healthcare provider on a regular basis. By screening within their community, we can refer those with abnormal readings to a physician or clinic. This past year, we have referred 13 people from our screening events. We have glucometers that were donated ~5 years ago, however, test strips for this brand are not cheap, and we need testing solution to ensure that the glucometers we use are functioning accurately.
Total Cost: 600
Org funds used: All funds for our organization come from our chapter membership dues ($20 per student per year) and fundraising events. Fundraising events include the Mr. PharmD pageant every April, CandyGrams at Valentines Day, and occasionally t-shirt sales. This year we have not yet had a t-shirt fundraiser; however, one is in the planning stages.

Event/Project: Creativity Study Tour
Location: Cincinnati, OH & Chicago, IL
Date: 2/28 and 4/18-4/20
Time: Both trips are all day events.
Purpose of Event/Project: This semester we have piloted a section of “LA 111: Living on the Right Side of the Brain” for first generation students. Students in the FGSO and campus wide were recruited for this section which has 15 students. To enhance the classroom learning about creative thinking Dr. Ryan Hargrove has planned two creative study tours. This is a tremendous opportunity to meet and share ideas with some of the most creative people in the US....world! The format behind the visits will be for each company/person to talk about their creative process, what does creativity mean to them, the value of creativity in their profession. They will also reference their work in relation to these questions.
The first is a day trip to Cincinnati, OH, meeting with Northlich (Brand Agency), Barefoot Proximity (consumer strategy), Loren Long (Illustrator), Todd Henry (Motivator), and The Monastery (Musician).
The second is a weekend trip to Chicago, IL. The group will meet with Studio Gang Architects (Builder), IDEO (Innovators), Kim Knoll (Graphic Designer), Anne and Steve Truppe (Photographers), Terry Guen Design Associates (Landscape Architects), and Chris Pandel (Chef).
Students will be traveling via a UK motor pool van and staying in a hotel. During the course of this trip, students will walk a world famous park with its designer, listen to a recording with a music producer, cook and share a meal with a five star chef, you get the idea!
Statistically, first generation students lack exposure to the fine arts, creative thinkers and cultural experiences and it is our mission to grant them these opportunities through co-curricular activities. These funds will allow for students to attend this experience at little to no cost.
Total Cost: CINCINNATI, OH • Transportation - $216 • Food - $500 • Incidentals – $800 • TOTAL - $1,516 CHICAGO, IL • Transportation - $1,100 • Lodging - $1,600 • Food - $1,200 • Incidentals - $900 • TOTAL - $4,800 GRAND TOTAL - $6,316
Org funds used: Student will cover the cost of meals. The Office of First Generation Initiatives will support the cost of incidentals like admission fees, on site transportation fare, and resource materials ($2,116).
Detailed Description of Request: The First Generation Student Organization and Office of First Generation Initiatives requests $2,500 to offset the cost of transportation and lodging for the Cincinnati and Chicago creative study tours. With the help of the SSP, the total cost for first generation students would be drastically reduced and more affordable.
