What other Jayhawks are saying
“The KU Alumni Association Presidents Club program has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of. As much as I felt I was involved as an alumna, it has opened a world of opportunity I didn't even realize was out there. Through very fun social interaction the advantages that this program offers are endless and have been a huge benefit to me personally, from a business perspective, and for our entire family. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!”
JULIE A ANDREWS
“I joined the Presidents Club in 2008, and continued to become more involved in attending, organizing, and hosting Alumni Association events. I became aware of and interested in joining the National Board to find other ways to contribute to the effort of increasing the value of a KU education through alumni engagement, keep informed about KU's priorities and progress, and meet other Jayhawks as passionate as I am about the University. I joined the board in 2019 and have enjoyed every minute of it.”
