KU School of Journalism Recognition Ceremony

Saturday • May 16, 2026 • 8:30 am
Main Auditorium

Since the first journalism class was offered at the University of Kansas in 1891, the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications continues its long legacy of excellence in leading the way in innovative teaching that prepares students for today’s media careers. Our academic environment is intimate and student centered, providing a small-school climate with all of the benefits of a large-university setting. The innovative curriculum teaches foundational values, ethics and skills of journalism and mass communications while also preparing students to be adaptable, entrepreneurial professionals in today’s changing and increasingly digital world. Our advising staff works with each student individually, helping guide them to take risks, grow and achieve their college and career goals. The KU School of Journalism and Mass Communications has more than 14,500 graduates in the United States and dozens of other countries around the world. The school’s long list of distinguished and accomplished graduates are the best evidence that the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications is a great destination for serious students who are ambitious, intelligent and creative.
