NOTABLE ALUMS

The Flying Jayhawks is a travel club for alumni, but it also could aptly describe the 60-year-old National Business Aviation Association, which has 8,000 members and hosts the world's largest civil aviation trade show. Several KU grads are in key leadership positions, including CEO Ed Bolen, who earned an economics degree at KU; Dan Hubbard, vice president for communications and a journalism grad; and Legislative Affairs Director Ashleigh de la Torre, who has degrees in political science and journalism from Mount Oread.
