Kansas University

The SAME student chapter at the University of Kansas is in its initial stages of development; however, several goals have been established that seek to provide opportunities for students and current members of SAME to interact.  The KU student chapter intends to strengthen the link between the University and the Post by engaging interested students and SAME members looking to give back. Several strategies have been considered on how to best provide meaningful experiences for student members and maintain their interest and involvement with the chapter. The ideas for that have hit home with students have revolved around career development activities, including providing better insight into the job market, guidance on internships and support on resume building.  As the student chapter develops, The Kansas City Post members will maintain active engagement with the KU student chapter by sharing their experiences and providing valuable advice to help KU students advance their professional development.
