KU Connection

Welcome to the first issue of KU Connection, a monthly report from the University of Kansas. We invite you to sample a variety of stories covering KU people (both on and off the Hill), campus news and fun facts from KU's proud history.

The Kansas Alumni Association is pleased to collaborate with the Office of University Relations, the KU Endowment Association, KU Memorial Unions and the KU Athletics Department on this project. We hope you will enjoy receiving news, historical highlights and special offers from athletics and the KU Bookstores.

For those of you who wish to continue receiving KU Connection, we hope to hear from you. Share your reactions to our stories-and share your own latest news.

We also encourage you to send the newsletter to other Jayhawks who might not receive it. Use the "Send to a Friend" feature to forward this to your favorite college friend. With your help, we can share the stories of our alma mater throughout the KU family.

With warmest wishes from the Hill-
The Kansas Alumni Association
