Jayhawks for Higher Education

Jayhawks for Higher Education communicate the needs of the University and higher education to the Kansas Legislature. Alumni advocacy is a longstanding tradition of the KU Alumni Association. Informed advocates help strengthen the University. Join JHE today!

To coordinate JHE communications, Association staff members Jennifer Jackson Sanner, senior vice president for communications, and Kevin Corbett, president, work closely with colleagues in KU’s Office of University Communications and Government Relations. At key points throughout the legislative session, the Association will send e-mail updates to JHE members, asking them to take action by calling or corresponding with their local lawmakers on issues of importance to KU and higher education.

Our advocacy efforts also benefit from the leadership of 16 alumni chapters throughout the state. Alumni volunteers in these chapters help coordinate legislative advocacy in their areas.
