Jayhawk Generations
P
roud parents across Kansas and across the country have sent their fledglings from the nest to perch on new branches of the KU family tree. In this edition of Jayhawk Generations, we feature nearly 250 new Jayhawks who have already seen athletic and academic successes at a young age, including several state champions, at least four class valedictorians and more than 20 Kansas Honor Scholars who received recognition from the Alumni Association for ranking in the top 10 percent of high school seniors throughout the state. Eager to spread their wings, these newcomers have big plans to become doctors, educators, movie directors and journalists, among countless other pursuits. Whether they’ve migrated from the East Coast or the Golden State, or they’re homegrown Kansans, parents rest assured— your ’Hawks will always be at home on the Hill.
