Gavin Stone Student Government Board, President Students at Kutztown University, incoming freshman or returning. Congratulations on attending the 23-24 academic year. Kutztown has always been a diverse campus that fosters personal and professional growth. As you work towards your goals, KU strives to adhere to any resources or opportunities a student may need. Alternatively, to your courses, KU offers student-run organizations to develop personal relationships with administrators and fellow students. Getting involved with the University is a great way to meet new people, adapt to your new surroundings, and acquire and expand skills. With more than 180 student organizations, KU serves a wide range of student interests and offers many opportunities for involvement. Students agree that getting involved has been the highlight of their KU experience and a great way to supplement their education, as you will learn skills and gain experience that cannot be taught in the classroom. As an actively engaged member of the campus community, you will affect change in the University, thus benefitting not only yourself, but also a great institution. The Student Government Board welcomes inquiries and is always here to represent you.
