Couple donates money for project
University of Kansas alumnus Larry J. Borden and his wife Nancy of Colorado Springs, Colo., recently donated $100,000 to the K.S. "Boots" Adams Alumni Center at KU that will go toward a landscaping project and an outdoor event's plaza.
"We are grateful to Larry and Nancy for their wonderful gift and their many years of loyalty as KU volunteers," said Kevin Corbett, Alumni Association president in a press release. "Larry and Nancy set the standard for KU hospitality, and we'll continue that tradition with great events on the Borden Family Plaza."
Larry Borden was a 1962 graduate with a degree in business and he received his master's in 1967. He was the chairman of the Alumni Association's national board in 2004 to 2005.

The Borden Family Plaza was designed to accompany the new Docking Family Gateway at the Northeast entrance to campus on Jayhawk Boulevard. The plaza will play host to outdoor events.
The donation also provided the Alumni Association with enough funding to plant flowers, add lightning and take down fencing and pillars in the front of the Alumni Center.

KU receives grant from NASA
On June 28, NASA awarded a grant for more than $600,000 to the University of Kansas as part of its Advanced Information Systems Technology Program.This program processes and stores Earth science data more effectively using satellites and ground-based sensors, according to a spokeswoman from NASA.
The program also supports NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon, called Vision for Space Exploration.
A panel of judges chose the 28 grant recipients from a group of 99 applicants, some of which were universities while others were companies and labs.
Costas Tsatsoulis, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, will lead the research here at the University with the $638,296 grant.

Chancellor adds, discards positions
Jack Weinstein
Reorganization of the Office of External Affairs has eliminated the position of executive vice chancellor, and has redistributed duties among existing positions. The changes will begin July 15.
Paul Cartt, former executive vice chancellor, will work alongside Chancellor Hemen-
way to help him with major issues of the university, as a special assistant to the chancellor
"Given the realities of KU, I agree with the decision." Cartar said. "KU is an institution with a lot of different pieces and things going on."
Other changes include the reporting line. Individuals who previously reported to the executive vice chancellor will now report to Lynn Bretz, the new director of university communications. She will report directly to Chancellor Hemenway.
Cartar said as soon as he knows he is not able to help the process of the program he will be the first to say it's time for him to leave the university.
The only person who will not report to Bretz is Keith Yehle, the director of government relations, who will report directly to the chancellor.
"I am a KU graduate and Lawrence native, I bleed crimson and blue. I came to KU for one reason only, to help execute its mission and deliver value to Kansas," Cartar said.
Chancellor Hemenway created the position of executive vice chancellor years ago to generate structure within the university, as well as handle government relations and marketing. Kansas," Carttar said.
