KU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - WICHITA

The Crisis Management Team at the School of Medicine-Wichita has implemented an emergency response plan. The plan identifies a chain of command, resources and key personnel that will respond in crisis situations. Among the features of the plan, students at the school received pagers, which enable them to receive emergency information via text messages.

KU HISTORY

This month’s observation of Veterans Day and the recent success of the football team perfectly demonstrate the spirit behind the creation of KU’s Memorial Stadium. The athletic arena was officially dedicated on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1922, four years after the fighting stopped in the First World War. The project provided a home for sporting events and serves as a memorial to the 130 students, faculty and alumni who died in the war.
