Your gift creates positive impact by supporting key programs that unite Jayhawks
WHY GIVE
The KU Alumni Association helps Jayhawks tell KU’s story in all corners of the world.
Legacy Recruitment Program
Help us identify future Jayhawks by sharing the names of prospective KU students who are in the sixth grade or older. After you complete
the Legacy Recruitment Program form, your future ‘Hawk will become
part of the Office of Admissions mailing list and will receive information
about KU. (Note: A student who has already applied for admission to KU
is already on the mailing list.)
We complement the recruitment efforts of the Office of Admissions and
departments across campus with targeted mailings, KU packages, phone
calls and individualized campus visits. Our Office of Legacy Relations
communicates with all legacy students who have been admitted for the
upcoming fall semester.
Student Alumni Network
Being part of the Student Alumni Network elevates the KU experience by connecting students with everything they need to succeed.
From the first day walking up the Hill to the last day walking through the Campanile, we’ve got students covered.
SAN connects students to everything KU: Opportunities on and off campus, KU traditions through the year, Jayhawk classmates and more than 350,000 alumni around the world.
SAN is free for all students. To activate the membership, students can download the mobile app and register using their KU ID.
Jayhawk Career Network
We believe in the power of Jayhawks helping Jayhawks.
The Jayhawk Career Network gives students and alumni access to career resources, jobs, events, programming and connections at every stage of their career.
From job opportunities to real-world projects, the Jayhawk Career Network has something to help you in your career journey, including mentoring programs, webinars, job boards, career newsletters and more.
