2012 Winter Homecoming
 
Winter Homecoming2012-reception
The January 27th Winter Homecoming was a 
fun time for all involved.  The 2012 Winter Homecoming ceremony took place between the KCU Lady Knights and Knights games, where the titles of King and Queen were bestowed upon T.J. Young and Ashley Savage.  The Men's and Women's Basketball teams both celebrated victories in their defeat of Johnson University.  After the games an Alumni Reception was held in Waters Cafeteria, catered by Subway and the renowned alumni favorite, Giovanni's. Alumni who attended the event were pleasantly surprised with the exciting changes and renovations to the lobby of Lusby Center. 
Elva Young Welcome Center 
Dedication Ceremony Scheduled February 21st
If you "like" the Alumni Facebook page then you've probably watched the progress on the construction of the Elva Young Welcome Center.  To see the pictures of the progress go to our Facebook page.  To see the lobby in person please join us on February 21st, at 10:30 AM for a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to officially unveil the Elva Young Welcome Center.  Did Mrs. Young have a personal impact on your life?  We would like to compile stories to be placed in the Welcome Center from alumni and friends sharing how Mrs. Young influenced their lives.  Email your story to alumni@kcu.edu.

Make it Count...Double!
The Way Forward Campaign
This is an excellent opportunity for new alumni donors.  If you have never given a gift in support of KCU, now is your chance to make it count.  A generous donor has agreed to match all three-year pledges from first-time alumni donors, 100% up to an aggregate maximum of $80,000. Give a gift to KCU and double it in support of our campaign, The Way Forward.  Your support of The Way Forward will play a vital role in encouraging the next generation of students at KCU.  Please prayerfully consider one of the following:
KCU Career Center
Do you remember trying to get your first job?
Do you remember how difficult it was to find your first job and to make those lasting professional connections?  You can help KCU students get started in their professional careers in three ways:
 
1. Host a student in your home while they complete a summer internship. 
2. Agree to become a member of a KCU student's professional network. 
3. Share job opportunity information with the Career Center for KCU students.
 
Please email Mrs. Diane Caudill at dcaudill@kcu.edu to help provide your future fellow KCU alumni with job/internship leads and career assistance. Your help is needed and greatly appreciated. 
If you missed the School of Business Leadership Conference last year don't miss out on the opportunity to attend this year!  For more information on the conference and to register visit www.kcu.edu/conference.
