October 6-8 is officially Black Alumni Weekend in Kansas, or at least it appears that way. Kansas University, K-State and Kansas Wesleyan have Black alumni celebrations planned for that weekend.
The Kansas University Black Alumni Network kicks there weekend off with a Friday morning with a golf scholarship fundraiser and ends Friday with a welcome reception and awards presentation. The weekend is built around KU’s homecoming, so there’s a homecoming parade on Friday evening and a football game against Texas Tech on Saturday. The activities include tailgating on Saturday, a social gathering that evening, and a Sunday morning breakfast.

The K-State Black Alumni/Greek Weekend begins with a welcome reception. On Saturday there’s a State of K-State’s Black Community Discussion, an alumni barbecue, then the reunion breaks into mini-reunions before returning for your option of two parties.
