KC Melton Alumni Association

Students find that Melton-style learning becomes a lifelong passion.

Join the growing number of Melton grads who continue to be a part of the Melton community of learners as KC Melton Alumni Association members. As an Alumni Association member, you'll be able to participate in inspiring Feed Your Mind and Evening Educational Programs at no cost. 

A very nominal commitment from each of our graduates will help to ensure financial stability and less dependence on outside community funding that is already stretched past its limits.  An average contribution of $50 per graduate (over 600) would yield $30,000!  In addition, you'll help the Department of Adult Jewish Learning by funding exceptional programming that brings the community together.  Our programming schedule for 2009-2010 is already filled with a variety of thought-provoking events.  Take a look:

• Mar. 12:  "Feed Your Mind" with Rabbi Aryeh ben David
• Mar. 24:  "Feed Your Mind" with Dr. John Lantos
• Apr. 25:  "Feed Your Mind" with Prof Lynn Davidman
• Apr. 30:  "Feed Your Mind" with Bob Gast
• May. 25:   "Feed Your Mind" with Dr. Diane M. Sharon
• Aug. 5:   "Feed Your Mind" with Rabbi Leigh Ann Kopans

Watch for more events in 2010 that will include sessions with Jacob Schreiber, Lyynn, Davidman, Sergey Dolgopolskii, and the Program in Jewish Studies at KU, to name a few!

Membership renewal forms are sent by mail (or you may download print a copy from this page).
