Dear Friends,

It is a special time at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. For too long, our university had been a hidden gem amongst higher education institutions. Now, our reputation is strong, our rankings are soaring and our students are learning how to harness their passions to find their purpose in life. We are launching into a new era at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, and it is our privilege and pleasure to serve as co-chairs of the university’s Forever Brighter campaign.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has felt like home to us since we came to campus together in the mid-70s, as we began our college journey. Our love and respect for this incredible university has only grown over the years.

One of the key takeaways from our time as students was the encouragement to stretch ourselves to achieve success, often to a point we didn’t know we could reach. We were challenged to become our best selves at Â鶹ÊÓƵ and we’ve been able to accomplish so many things thanks to the support of the KSU community.

We have been given the opportunity to fund scholarships and new programs for deserving students—and there is no more rewarding feeling for us than changing the course of our students’ lives in a positive and encouraging way.

Our Â鶹ÊÓƵ experience changed our lives and set us on a path to happiness and success, and our hope is to be able to provide that chance for many more students to come.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has an amazing history and is today a destination for students from across the country and the world. We believe Golden Flash graduates have a special way of setting the world alight. We hope you will join us in building the future of Â鶹ÊÓƵ as a supporter of the Forever Brighter campaign.

Flashes Forever,

Sandy & Larry
