2022 was a banner year for KU, including...
- The fall 2022 freshman class of 4,457 is the second-largest in KU history.
- The average GPA of 3.66 ties fall 2021 as the highest on record for freshmen.
- Minority freshman enrollment surged 23.1% to set a new record of 1,269 students—28.5% of the freshman class.
- The University of Kansas Cancer Center in July earned the National Cancer Institute’s comprehensive designation and $30 million in new funding.
- KU’s Frontiers Clinical and Translational Science Institute in September received five-year renewal and nearly $27 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health.
- These two milestones, along with the fall 2021 renewal of the KU Alzheimer’s Disease Center’s national designation (and $15 million through 2026), mean that KU is one of only 28 U.S. universities with an NIH-designated cancer center, Alzheimer’s disease research center and a clinical and translational science institute.
- KU Debate remains a national powerhouse: In April, debaters advanced to Jayhawks’ 19th Final Four in the National Debate Tournament. KU Debate has earned six national championships and qualified for the NDT in 55 straight years.
- In the latest U.S. News & World Report, 11 KU graduate programs rank in the top 10 among public universities, and 51 programs rank in the top 50. KU’s programs in local government management and special education retained their long-held No. 1 rankings.
- The KU women’s basketball team advanced to the Jayhawks’ 23rd Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament.
- Kansas volleyball advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the third time in history.
- Kansas football reached the 13th bowl game in school history, and, of course,
- KU’s sixth men’s basketball National Championship!
