Event Recap: Pancakes and Partnerships

Thank you to those that participated in our Pancakes and Partnerships event last semester! We enjoyed connecting with you and representatives from across the university community.

If there is a partnership you'd like to follow up on from this event or you have any questions, please let us know!



The CSL has created a service project agreement for students ho are engaged in the community to really think through the logistics and goals of their service experience.

If you're working with a KU student either through a class or through co-curricular volunteering, please encourage them to complete the Service Project Agreement form.

Bookmark our Service Project Agreement.

The CSL uses a number of resources to promote opportunities that come to us, including Hire Jayhawks and volunteer.ku.edu. We are happy to promote community programs and opportunities on your behalf!

We would also love to connect you directly with faculty, researchers, student organizations, and more to support meaningful partnerships across our community.

Let us know how we can promote and garner support for your work completing our partnerships and opportunities survey.
