International Jayhawk Festival

About

The Ninth Annual International Jayhawk Festival will return on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Burge Union. The event is an opportunity for all Jayhawks to celebrate our global community and international engagement. The event will include free t-shirts, food, fashion show, performances, activities, and a study abroad fair. All are welcome. 

Student groups and academic units will offer intercultural activities, demonstrations and/or global trivia. Students can meet with advisors from study abroad, discuss academic programs with area studies representatives and language departments, connect with foreign language clubs, explore international career opportunities and learn about international student organizations.

The international musical performances and fashion show are highlights of the Festival. If interested in performing a song or dance and/or participating in the fashion show, please email mmward@ku.edu. Preference will be given to KU student groups and/or students.
