FAR ABOVE: the story

FAR ABOVE:

t he story

IGHT YEARS AGO, A BOLD MISSION KICKED-OFF THE START OF SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY — FAR ABOVE: THE CAMPAIGN FOR KANSAS. THE CAMPAIGN SOUGHT SUPPORT TO EDUCATE FUTURE LEADERS, ADVANCE MEDICINE, ACCELERATE DISCOVERY AND DRIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITIES OF THE FUTURE. Our belief was that with the support of alumni and friends, we could build capacity, expand opportunities, spark innovation and achieve aspirations — and we did, thanks to you.

The community rallied for the University of Kansas and The University of Kansas Hospital with unprecedented support.

Each person who was a part of the campaign contributed to its story; and with more than 131,000 donors, we could fill novels.

We are extraordinarily grateful for your support.

If you haven’t visited the KU campuses in a while, you are in for a surprise. Positive changes are happening inside and out, and the atmosphere is buzzing with energy. The University of Kansas has been transformed. KU will be greater for years to come, because of you.
