Hawk Week 2019
How to prepare
You’ll receive further details about Hawk Week at Orientation and through your KU email. Here are a few ways to prepare for your first week:
- Read the KU Common Book you received at Orientation. Bring your copy to Hawk Week and be ready to discuss “Outside” by Kiese Laymon, “Blood Brother” by Sarah Smarsh, and two other essays of your choosing.
- Download the Hawk Week app and review the event schedule.
- Plan to be on campus by Thursday, Aug. 22 — that’s Move-In Day and the first day of Hawk Week.
- If you require a reasonable accommodation for Hawk Week, please notify the Office of First-Year Experience by Aug. 2 at 785-864-4270 or via e-mail at firstyear@ku.edu
