Student
union director Frank Burge remembered
Frank
Burge served as director of the KU Memorial Unions for
30 years. During his tenure, he built the institution
into one of the largest and finest programs in the nation.
The timing of his passing this summer precluded many
in the campus community, particularly students and alumni,
from commemorating his service and life. The Memorial
Unions will provide another opportunity for such a celebration
on Frank's birthday, Sept. 28.
The day's schedule would be as follows:
|
8 a.m.
|
Unveiling of banners and posters through the
Unions illustrating Frank's accomplishments. In
keeping with Frank's generosity, those attending
the ceremony will enjoy free cookies, including
fortune cookies with the statement "Frank
Burge, Union Director Extraordinaire. Forever
in our hearts and halls."
|
|
11 a.m.
|
Commemoration Ceremony in Alderson Auditorium.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success,
will open the ceremony; other will share commentaries
describing Frank's life.

Reception in the Traditions Lounge, featuring
a cake cutting with free cake for passers-by.
