Employees, students, alumni tell KU story at Kansas State Fair

Nearly three dozen KU faculty and staff volunteered their time to attend the Kansas State Fair and work at the KU booth. The volunteers answered questions about the university, passed out KU goods and visited with fair attendees.

The volunteers came from all corners of the university. KU’s School of Medicine, both the Kansas City and Wichita branches, was well-represented, with more than a dozen volunteers. A sizable contingent of KU alumni also gave their time to help staff the booth, and a group of medical students known as the KU Medical Center Rural Health Interest Group were on hand to take blood pressures and provide blood sugar and other health-related services for visitors.
