The UK campus and Lexington community are invited to celebrate a different kind of Mardi Gras this year. Russian Mardi Gras, or Maslenitsa, is the Carnival holiday that celebrates the pre-Lenten season before the traditional 40-day fast begins.
A&S majors can experience the “Italian Renaissance,” travel to Spain, experience the French Revolution, gain insight on Luther and the Reformation, and immerse themselves in Oliver Cromwell.
The College of Arts & Sciences offers awards for international travel. These awards are for independent travel abroad to specified cities and sites, not for formal programs through Education Abroad. Please complete the travel grant application and return to 311 Patterson Office Tower.
