KU releases 'State of the University' video

The KU chancellor's office today released a 2013 "State of the University" video, which you can watch on YouTube:
Narrated by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, the six-minute video starts with a nice piece of symbolism: a shot of the flags atop Fraser Hall as Gray-Little says her first words, "Flagship university" — a phrase you'll hear KU leaders use often.
The chancellor then runs through a list of accomplishments, developments and ongoing efforts at KU: student and faculty honors, National Cancer Institute designation for the KU Cancer Center, faculty hiring efforts and a lot more.
And there's a lot of footage of faculty and students in classrooms, labs, libraries and elsewhere, so there's a good chance you'll spot a face you know.
An accompanying report from the chancellor is also posted on her office's website.
The state of Heard on the Hill is quite satisfied, because we just finished lunch. Keep us feeling that way by sending your KU news tips to merickson@ljworld.com.
