<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Good morning Don,</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Last year the department was provided an allocation from a College KUEA fund for the Ed Reilly Speaker Series. Does the department plan to utilize this account again in FY26?</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Last year the department brought in four speakers and expensed ~$6.2K. For this year, there are sufficient funds in the endowment account to possibly host two speaker series (total expenses between $12-13K) if that is something
the department is interested in?</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">For context, the endowment account being used is the Edward F Reilly Civic Engagement fund. The purpose of the fund:</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">This fund shall be used to catalyze and support civic engagement in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at the University of Kansas. To</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">name just a few examples, the Reilly Civic Engagement Fund could: attract superb civic engagement faculty with extra research funds;</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">attract inspiring speakers to KU to engage with faculty and students alike; provide travel funds for faculty and students to conduct</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">community-engaged scholarship; support forums for faculty and students at KU to engage with one another on important topics that have</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">become contentious in national politics; allow students to travel to Washington, D.C. to observe our political process in person and reflect</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">on how to improve it.</span></p>
