Jayhawks Elevate Success Stories

Our Vision

To be a leading force in higher education for operational excellence, fostering an environment where continuous improvement is the cornerstone of our university’s growth and success.

Jayhawks Elevate Mission

Establish a practice of being an exceptional learning community built on valuing employee ideas and empowering their solutions to continuously improve and make KU a best-in-class organization.

What Do We Mean by "Continuous Improvement?"

Continuous improvement at the University of Kansas is about recognizing that our journey towards excellence is never complete.   It's an ongoing process of reflection, learning, and action, where we constantly seek to better our operations, educational environment, and community engagement. This approach is rooted in the belief that each of us, through our ideas and efforts, can contribute to meaningful and positive change. Together, we can shape a university that not only meets the standards of today but sets new benchmarks for tomorrow.

Jayhawks Elevate is a current University of Kansas initiative focused on Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
