Last month, on May 12, a group of our international students, accompanied by a faculty advisor from the School of Music, attended the 54th Annual Good Neighbor Award Luncheon in Kansas City.

The Luncheon features the presentation of the Truman Good Neighbor Award to a prominent individual who is recognized for exemplary service to their community and the nation. This year’s Guest of Honor was Wynton Marsalis, a world-renowned trumpeter, composer, bandleader, educator, advocate for arts education and a nine-time Grammy Award winner and Pulitzer Prize recipient for music.

It’s such an honor for ISS Office to receive an invitation every year to attend the event along with international students recognized for their strong leadership and campus involvement as guests. It has always been a great opportunity for our international students to connect with peers from other institutions, meet the Guest of Honor, and take individual commemorative photographs with the Good Neighbor Award Honoree, along with a group photo to mark the occasion.

We are proud of our students for representing KU and the international student community at this prestigious event. 🙌🫶🏻 ❤️💙
