The KU Alumni Association has launched a new Jayhawks for Higher Education mobile app to provide quick information to the alumni legislative advocacy group.

The app will feature legislative updates, KU's legislative agenda, the latest Jayhawks for Higher Education messages and calls to action and contact information for legislators.

The app can be downloaded through the App Store (for iPhone) or Google Play (for Android), or visit kualumni.org/app.

On Jan. 23, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little presented an overview of the University of Kansas to the House Higher Education Budget Committee in Topeka. The presentation focused on KU's budget and the impact of last year's $10.7 million cut to the university.

A copy of her slide presentation is available online. KU is scheduled to present before the same committee again on Feb. 9.

The Office of Public Affairs will again host a social media workshop to help launch the 2017 Chancellor's Report. This event is scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 1, at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. As in years past, assets will be provided to communicators from the Chancellor's Report to help promote your departments and the university.

The workshop is also a great way to learn about new techniques in social media. Please reserve your spot at the workshop by emailing Katie McCurry, senior digital strategist, at kmccurry@ku.edu.

A new Q&A on KU's Central District project with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little is available in the latest project update, where Gray-Little discusses how the project will positively affect the campus for years to come.

More information about KU's Central District project is available at centraldistrict.ku.edu.

Please remember to use the Suggested Social Posts document to get your posts shared by the main KU Twitter account. This is a Google Drive document that helps us schedule and share your departmental and school news, events and other items on KU's primary social media channels.

For any questions on how to use or gain access to this document, please contact Katie McCurry at kmccurry@ku.edu.

KU has updated its KU Roundup newsletter that is sent to state legislators. A copy of the latest edition is available online.

The newsletter is produced by the Office of Public Affairs and is sent to legislators once every two weeks during the legislative session.
