Ku Academic Calendar 2024 Summer
As a student at the University of Kansas, I have experienced first-hand the importance of keeping track of the academic calendar. In the summer of 2024, KU has planned an exciting array of events and festivities that I am eagerly looking forward to.
Summer Semester Dates
The summer semester at KU will begin on May 28th, 2024, and will end on August 14th. This is a condensed semester, with classes being held for a total of 11 weeks. It is important for students to stay on top of their work and maintain good attendance during this time.
Events and Festivals
One of the most exciting events on the KU academic calendar is the commencement ceremony, which will be held on May 26th, 2024. This ceremony marks the culmination of years of hard work for graduating students, and is a time for celebration with friends and family.
In addition to commencement, KU has planned a number of other events and festivals throughout the summer semester. Some of the highlights include:
- The KU Jazz Festival – June 7th – 9th
- The Lawrence Busker Festival – July 5th – 7th
- The Douglas County Fair – July 30th – August 4th
Celebrations and Traditions
One of the most important celebrations during the summer semester at KU is the Fourth of July. Lawrence, the city where KU is located, has a long tradition of celebrating Independence Day with parades, fireworks, and other festivities. It is a time for students to come together with the larger community and celebrate our country’s history.
Another important tradition at KU is the annual Chalk and Talk event. This event, which takes place on the first day of classes, allows students to decorate the sidewalks on campus with chalk drawings. It is a fun and creative way to start off the summer semester.
