“KU Alumni holds a special place with our family. KU Alumni has always provided us a chance to give back to KU and connect with alumni around the country, but it also has provided us a chance to connect with future Jayhawks too. KU Alumni allows all Jayhawks to reconnect with the university we love and appreciate so much after we graduate through a variety of ways. No matter the path we chose as undergrads it all leads us to being proud graduates of the University of Kansas with KU Alumni being our catalyst to that connection after graduation.

Rock Chalk Forever holds a special place in our hearts because it was the catalyst to me getting involved with KU Alumni. At the 2004 event, I was talking with an alum who said I should think about getting involved with the local Kansas City chapter. Now 20+ years later, I’ve had the honor to not only serve on the Kansas City board, but I’ve been able to serve on the national board too. Rock Chalk Forever provides a unique opportunity for Jayhawks of all ages/majors/backgrounds to come together in KC to give back to the University we care so much about.”
