One Day. One KU.

 

One Day. One KU. was a tremendous success! In just 24 hours, thousands of Jayhawks came together to support the University of Kansas — especially on social media. We are thrilled to announce that more than $1.7 million was raised for programs and initiatives across all five campuses! These gifts will have a lasting impact on our university community. Thank you, Jayhawk Nation!

 

If you didn't get a chance to make a gift and would still like to support the University of Kansas, please visit kuendowment.org/givenow. Gifts are accepted 365 days a year. Rock Chalk!
