Homecoming 2025 brought the K community together in the best way possible (in our opinion, anyway). Across the Connection Reception and Alumni of Color Reception, more than 100 students, alumni, faculty, and staff filled Hicks Banquet Room to share stories, trade advice, and build new relationships. Special shout-out to the class of 1975, who had 24 members in attendance!

Students left with new ideas and mentors, and alumni left reminded of why they love giving back.

“I enjoyed having the opportunity to attend the Connection Reception that K hosted because I was able to connect with past alumni for insight on what I should be doing as a sophomore right now!” said Jay Hernandez ’27.

Alum Daniel Henry ’20 said, “I had a great conversation with a first-year student who is just beginning to explore his interests. He was excited to learn about my path from studying computer science at K to working in patent law. At the end of our conversation I gave him my business card and told him to reach out any time he has any questions on how to pursue this path.”

“The event made me feel less worried about the job market post graduation, and the connections I was able to make with alumni gave me a better understanding and sense of direction for what type of job opportunities I can look into. I normally don’t hear about someone who majored in International Area Studies with a job that is located outside of the US, but the alumni, Jeniffer Kuskovski, that I was able to connect with, shared her work experience in places like Madrid and Switzerland and gave me better insight into the international workplace,” said Eliana Moreno ’26.
