Your gift to the KU Alumni Association fuels the continued growth of programs that create value for alumni and students, enhance the value of a KU degree and strengthen KU. Through your support, we can:

Expand personalized student recruitment efforts through our NextGen recruitment program in partnership with KU Admissions. Over the past nine years, we’ve increased the number of legacy undergraduates from 15% to 25%.

Grow the Jayhawk Career Network, offering resources like KU Mentoring+, continuing education, professional development, and networking for Jayhawks at every career stage. More than 15,000 Jayhawks have joined the platform, making over 25,000 connections.

Support the Student Alumni Network, with more than 5,000 active members—the largest of its kind in the Big 12. This program is critical in identifying and developing future alumni leaders and supporters.

Create exceptional experiences for prospective students, returning alumni, and visitors at the new Jayhawk Welcome Center and Adams Alumni Center. This leading-edge facility contributes to record-breaking freshman classes and hosted over 50,000 visitors and 800 events in its first year.

Connect Jayhawks through alumni networks worldwide, including geographical networks, the Black Alumni Network, Hispanic Alumni Network, and Veterans Alumni Network, which helped KU achieve a #5 ranking as a military and veteran-friendly school.

Offer new engagement opportunities for graduates of our medical programs and those in healthcare, like the recent health professionals’ industry night at the Jayhawk Welcome Center.

Unrestricted gifts of any size will help us create life-changing experiences for all Jayhawks. One Day One KU is an ideal opportunity for current Presidents Club annual donors of $1,000 or more to renew their gifts, and all gifts of $1,000 or more will count toward the Presidents Club.
