Community Connections

Downtown Lawrence at night

Building new connections and establishing a sense of belonging in a new community can take time. We want to help you connect with your new community, whether you are joining our main campus in Lawrence, the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, or one of our satellite campuses in Wichita or Salina.

Because the majority of new faculty and staff work and live in Lawrence, the resources below are focused on the Lawrence community. If you are planning to live in the Kansas City metro area or are joining our us in Wichita or Salina, we will assist you in finding relevant resources in those communities.

Please note KU does not endorse or promote any specific company or organization. These resources are listed for informational purposes only. Contact RDCS@ku.edu if you have questions or suggested additions to this page.
