About
the Kansas City Club
The
Tulane Club of Kansas City is an active group of local alumni who
organize social, educational, and cultural activities for Tulane
alumni in the KC area. The club is a constituent member of the
Tulane Alumni Association (TAA). Founded in 1898, TAA provides a
forum for meaningful involvement and interaction among the university’s
105,000 alumni, its students, and university leaders.
With
more than 350 local Tulane alumni, the club has something for all
alums in the area. Our club is very active -- our 2002 crawfish
boil drew almost 200 alums & friends!! In recent years our events
have included 2nd Wed. monthly luncheons with an alumni/student
speaker, crawfish boils, an art event with Newcomb grad Lynda Benglis,
speakers from Tulane (President Scott Cowen & the Dean of the School
of Architecture), and happy hours. We also support our local students
at Tulane through Hometown Parties for incoming freshmen, care packages
sent to freshmen, and a student skating party during the winter
break. Our club is one of the only clubs to publish a quarterly
newsletter highlighting local alums and students and announcing
upcoming events.
We
look forward to getting to know you. Activities of the club are
planned and organized by local alumni with the assistance of the
Tulane Office of Alumni Affairs. Therefore, your ideas and your
help are always welcome. Please contact Molly Dwyer at mollyal@kc.rr.com
if you would like to get involved.
