Homecoming is KU's biggest party. When you're with SAN, we'll make sure you don't miss out on the tradition. Plus, whenever KU Athletics needs spirited students for events like College Game Day in the Fieldhouse, you can bet SAN members get in first.

CLASSMATES

Please allow us to introduce ourselves: HawkFest means the beginning of a new year, with every student group under the sun there to meet you. And our biggest party each year, Big Jay's Recess, is a throwback to simpler days, filled with foursquare, cereal, cartoons and more kinds of fun the way we used to have it.

Student Alumni Network Info

KU Mentoring

Networking and career prep doesn’t have to be scary. There are thousands of Jayhawk alumni who are more than willing to help you get started on your career journey. Register for mentoring.ku.edu, and reach out to an alum with a question. Jayhawks helping Jayhawks, it just makes sense.

Hire Jayhawks

When KU grads are hiring, they’re probably looking for KU grads. HireJayhawks.com can help you find the jobs that are looking for people like you!

Events

If networking sounds intimidating, KU Alumni events are the perfect way to get started. You’ll always have something in common when you’re in a room full of Jayhawks! Get to know KU professionals in your area, and hey, they may know someone else to get to know too (that’s networking!)

Love KU? We Do Too!

If you're looking to take the next step in your Jayhawk journey, and want to connect your time at KU with the thousands of KU alumni you'll soon be a part of, the Student Alumni Endowment Board wants you!
