When you come to the University of Kansas in Lawrence, you know you have arrived at a special place. Yes, the campus is gorgeous, and rich traditions like the Rock Chalk chant endear our students to this university for life. But you will discover so much more.
KU is home to some of the world’s top scholars and scientists, experts in their fields and in their classrooms. We pride ourselves on the easy accessibility and caring attitude our faculty offer as they mentor our students and support their academic success. And we have invested heavily to offer our students technologically advanced facilities, strong academic programs and a nurturing environment in which to learn, grow - and have some fun. The surrounding community embraces this university and offers countless activities to explore, from the downtown arts, music and shopping scene to great outdoor adventures like windsurfing at Clinton Lake.
Please consider visiting not only our main campus in Lawrence but also the medical campuses in Kansas City and Wichita, and the adult learning campus in Overland Park as well as other Jayhawk enterprises around the state. See what thousands of students have discovered, and why they are now, like me, loyal Jayhawks for life. I welcome you and look forward to seeing you on Mount Oread.
Robert Hemenway
Chancellor
