This week a new class of first-year medical students arrived on campus. As always, it’s an exciting time around here. I enjoy seeing all the departments that pitch in and help welcome the students with meals, snacks, and other essentials. We in public affairs provided breakfast for them yesterday and we took the opportunity to get them excited about a new project we’re working on. The student photo art project is a technology-based display that will be installed in the West Atrium. We’re asking students to submit their pictures of medical student life. We want to see the whole experience, from classroom to studying, or even just hanging out with fellow students.

The first meeting of KU Pride hosted by public affairs has been rescheduled to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, in the Sunflower Room. Plan to stop by for refreshments and to hear an update from our inaugural class of 1
st-year students.
Contact us at 293-2643 or [email protected] with questions or suggestions for content.
We are taking our lecture series to the next level. Beginning in September, we will partner with Newman University for HealthPulse, a lunch and lecture program held on Newman’s campus. This great community partnership opportunity raises the growth potential of our audience, which helps get our name out there. Lectures will still be held at noon on Tuesdays monthly and lunch will be offered for a $5 registration fee. Watch future issues of JTO for the new schedule of topics and presenters. You can still listen to past Live & Learn lectures online. Audio recordings and notes are available for each lecture.
Did you know public affairs offers a variety of items to support your department events? We’ve got your banners, flags, directional signs, easels, beverage tubs, and giant inflatable Jayhawk covered. Visit our website and fill out an event support request form to reserve the goods that will make your event shine.
Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter, or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Keep us informed. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news.

Trisha Richmeier, Office of Research Applause, cheers, and cartwheels to Trisha for being my partner to complete the F&A space survey. When KUMC reached out to me stating they needed Wichita to identify how space is used for the federal F&A rate, I immediately thought of Trisha as the ideal person to help and someone that I could depend on to complete the project. I appreciated Trisha’s initiative, solutions, and collaborative spirit. Much appreciated! Nominated by Tyann Orton, assistant dean for finance Mike Vogts, ITS Mike implemented a new way to access MAS90 software for MPA employees at no additional cost that dramatically improved performance and reduced time needed to complete tasks for those that use it. Way to go Mike! Nominated by Penni Smith, director, ITS
