Activities for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' Alumni Week are not just for alumni.
But students and faculty are expected to be the main participants in the lectures and receptions.
The annual celebrations began three years ago and are scheduled in conjunction with the spring KU alumni weekend, said Sally Frost-Mason, associate dean of the college.
"These people are all intimately tied into education in some way, especially higher education," Frost-Mason said.
Speakers this week include Niara Sudarkasa, first woman president of Lincoln University; Regina Morantz-Sanchez, a 1995 senior fellow for the National Endowment of the Humanities; and George Sanchez, a historian whose book, "Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles," was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in history.
The department of African and African-American Studies is co-sponsoring Sudarkasa's lecture as the last event in its 25th anniversary celebration.
Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film, will introduce the film "Zoot Suit," tomorrow. "Zoot Suit" is a 1980 film that tells the story of Latino in Los Angeles in 1942.
The week's lectures will conclude with the husband-and-wife team of Morantz-Sanchez and Sanchez this Thursday and Friday.
The college will announce the winner of this year's J. Michael Young Advising Award Friday afternoon.

CAMPUS BRIEF
Smokey roast beef sets off false fire alarm
Kansan staff report
An overcooked roast caused a fire alarm about 5 a.m. Friday in Tower A of Jayhawker Towers, KU police report.
Ketsuda Phanphruk, Bangkok,
Thailand, graduate student, was
cooking a beef roast and had forgotten to turn off the stove. The roast burned and filled Phanphruk's apartment with smoke.
"I was sleeping when the alarm went off," she said. "I just went to the kitchen and turned off the stove."
Phanphruk said she went outside after turning off the stove.
After arriving at the scene, a KU police officer found the smoke and an activated smoke detector on the fourth floor of the tower, according to the report. The officer had tower security unlock Phanphruk's apartment, which appeared to be the source of the smoke.
The officer found smoke in her apartment and went to the stove in the kitchen, which had a smoking metal pan on it. The officer
checked the stove to turn off the burners, but the burners were already off, according to the report. The officer poured water into the pan to cool it and then removed the pan from the burner.
The Lawrence Fire Department also arrived at the scene and ventilated the room.
Phanphruk said she was not hurt, and there was no damage to her apartment. But she did have to throw out the roast.
"It was pretty black and smelled pretty bad," she said.
