Student Community Programs


Through the Student Engagement Center (SEC), KU students deepen their connection to each other and KU by exploring communities and opportunities to thrive during their Jayhawk experience. Our programs provide educational, community building, and well-being programming centering non-traditional students, queer and trans students, students of color, and women and femme students. 

All are Welcome

  • While Student Engagement Center programming centers students of color, queer and trans students, women and femme students, and non-traditional students, all students are welcome to participate.




Non-Traditional Student Programming

Programming centering non-traditional students takes place every November!
