FYI:

 

·        ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

Thanks to the generous financial support of the KU Endowment Association through the Grace Medes Fund, and other support from the KU Alumni Association, the Oral History Committee is able to continue compiling histories of retired KU faculty and staff. Because more money was needed to complete this year’s work, Dale Seuferling, President of the KU Endowment Association made a one-time contribution available to us.  We appreciate his support.  Because the yearly amount from the Grace Medes Fund is limited, the Oral History Committee encourages you to show support for the Oral History Project by making contributions to the fund.  Checks should be made to KU Endowment Association/Grace Medes Fund.
