 Another KU Basketball season is under way, and the men’s team aims for a national championship, while Bonnie Henrickson and her team promise renewed excitement for the women’s program.
To support both teams, the Alumni Association will help Jayhawks gather; our TV Guide to Jayhawk Basketball will get you started as you follow the ‘Hawks at watch sites across the country.
And we’re aiming even higher in our efforts to unite KU grads: We’re pleased to announce the publication of our 2005 Directory of Members and Graduates. In the coming weeks you will be contacted by mail, e-mail, and telephone, as we ask for your help in editing your biographical information to be included in the directory. You can find your friends and help them find you, and you can help the Association harness a powerful Jayhawk network by paying special attention to our inquiries about career information. We plan to develop a superior career network to help you leverage your KU education to every advantage in today’s competitive job market.
 And for Jayhawk performing arts aficionados, The Lied Center can now deliver the latest news about world-class offerings to your desktop. Sign up here to receive these bulletins.
 Of course, personal connections are never more fun than at a KU event, and Kansas City’s signature Jayhawk gathering, the Rock Chalk Ball, is set for Feb. 4, 2005, at the historic Union Station. Make your reservations now for the 10th annual ball.
And, don’t forget the last home football gathering of the fall: Nov. 13, Senior Day, when our Jayhawks take on Texas. KU Athletics has a special ticket offer for fans.
As you’ll read below, Kevin Corbett, c’88, is the Alumni Association’s new leader. Send a note and welcome Kevin to the Association, and join us as we begin an exciting new era, working with the University community to strengthen KU. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
Warmest wishes from the Hill,
The Kansas Alumni Association
