Around Campus
We welcomed a KC heart to campus this week, as a way of celebrating our city and supporting the community. The “heART” is themed, “Of the Prairie,” and encourages people to learn more about the natural world and celebrates Kansas’ tall grasses. The heart was secured with funds set aside for artwork when the campus was built, and proceeds benefit regional nonprofit organizations. As a stop on the KC Parade of Hearts map, the campus team looks forward to new visitors to campus!
