CAMPUS, HOMEPAGE NEWS

On Thursday, March 12, Heath Peterson, d’04, g’09, KU Alumni Association President and Megan McGinnis, Assistant Director of Student Programs, shared the following message with Student Alumni Network members.

 

Dear Students,

 

Our thoughts go out to all who have been affected by the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). In coordination with the University’s decision to conduct classes online, we will cancel all Student Alumni Network events for the next 60 days to further protect our Jayhawk community. These include the Mocktails & Mingle for Architecture on March 18, Wine & Wax on March 19, and Big Jay’s Recess on April 2.

 

In addition to continuing your classes online, you can stay connected to Jayhawk alumni through KU Mentoring.

 

Please do all you can to remain healthy and safe. Watkins Health Services offers helpful guidance for reducing your risks and taking steps if you experience symptoms.

 

Your well-being remains our top priority during this challenging time.

 

Heath Peterson, d’04, g’09
KU Alumni Association President

 

Megan McGinnis
Assistant Director of Student Programs
