Lawrence
KU’s main campus is in Lawrence, Kansas,
one of the few cities in the United States founded for political
reasons. Lawrence was settled in 1854 for the sole purpose
of making Kansas a slavery-free state.
The city began as a small outpost on the banks of the Kansas
River, and it still retains many interesting reminders of
its colorful past. The tree-lined main street just a few
blocks from campus offers
an abundance of small specialty shops, many of which cater
to the diverse needs of KU students, faculty, and staff.
Lawrence’s 32 public
parks, three community swimming pools, arts center, historical
museum, and Seem-to-Be Players children’s theatre group are just
a few of the opportunities in the community.

“Being an intern at Spencer Museum of
Art has given me practical job experience, helped me
to refine my career goals, and allowed me to confront important museum
issues that
will help me make more informed curatorial decisions.
The internship combined with my academic work has made my graduate
experience at
KU an educational and rewarding part of my career preparation,
beyond what I expected. ” – Hillary
Pedersen, history of art
