Joey Beeler, senior in the KU School of Public Affairs and Administration, found this snowy scene on his way to pick up his friends. He thought Jayhawk Boulevard looked so beautiful in the snow that he went back later to snap this picture. “It’s amazing what you stumble upon when you take a second and just relax, look and listen,” he said. Joey encourages other #KUstudents to unplug from their phones and #exploreKU. He said, “It gives you a chance to see different sides of a university that you love, that make you cherish your time here even more.” What do you cherish most about your time at KU?
