We’ll see what ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ show has planned for KU
We heard last week that ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ might be coming to the Kansas University campus on Monday. Immediately I pictured Degeneres walking down Jayhawk Boulevard in super-hip sneakers and posing for group selfies with students in front of the campanile.
Degeneres confirmed Saturday via Twitter that the show is, in fact, coming to campus Monday.
Hey, everybody at the University of Kansas, if you're as excited as I am about the World Series, I hope you're free on Monday. @KUNews

But my vision was a little bit off. Though DeGeneres herself won’t be in Lawrence Monday (she’ll be in California), the show’s social media arm is hosting a “Twitter event” at KU, university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson told the Journal-World.

What exactly will that entail? The show is supposed to be sending out tweets as it reveals details. (No updates as of mid-afternoon Sunday, though.)
When we know more, naturally your best bet for finding out fastest is via our KU Twitter handle, @LJW_KU, and my own handle, @saramarieshep. Follow along Monday, and we’ll all see what ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ has in store for Jayhawk territory.
