Presented annually during Homecoming, the Jennifer Alderdice Homecoming Award was established in 2009 by the KU Homecoming Steering Committee to honor Jennifer Alderdice, former assistant vice president of the KU Alumni Association and longtime advisor to the Steering Committee. During her 13 years with the Association, Jen inspired countless students to get involved and take pride in the University. She organized hundreds of events for the Student Alumni Network and KU community, leaving a lasting impact through her leadership and unwavering Jayhawk spirit.
The winner of the Jennifer Alderdice Homecoming Award will be selected based on outstanding dedication, initiative, motivation, positive attitude, and contributions to KU — in other words, the Jayhawk who best emulates the qualities of Jen Alderdice.
Five applicants will be selected as finalists and recognized throughout the week of Homecoming. One winner will be awarded a $250 stipend, an award plaque, and be announced during the Homecoming Football Game.
