ARCHEOLOGICAL DIG AT KU
Students and faculty conducted an archeological dig at a prehistoric site on campus in August. The dig provided students an opportunity to get their hands dirty and recover artifacts from thousands of years ago, reflective of the people who lived where our university now sits. President Hawkinson and his leadership team visited the site last month with professor Khori Newlander.

Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
A cooler northwest flow behind last night’s cold front brings partly cloudy skies to our area today with highs in the mid-70s. A brief afternoon instability shower cannot be ruled out, but the day will be largely dry and comfortable.
