Big moments deserve recognition!! 🎓

This past weekend, our graduate staff celebrated an incredible milestone: earning their graduate degrees.

We are proud to recognize nine outstanding graduates.

🎓Eight team members earned their M.S.Ed. (pictured below)
🎓 Hayden Schawang earned a Master’s in Counseling Psychology

Through their leadership, mentorship, and support of students across campus, they helped shape the residential experience at The University of Kansas and made a lasting impact on our communities.

Please join us in congratulating these graduates and wishing them continued success in their next chapter!

Many students and families know our student staff for the support they give others throughout the school year.

What you don’t always get to hear is how their own experience at the University of Kansas shaped them too. From the communities they built to the friendships and moments they’ll carry long after graduation, our graduating student staff are reflecting on the impact KU had on their lives over the past four years.

Watch as they share their experience — as students, staff members, and Jayhawks forever. 🎓
