Students: Make an Appointment with Kate

Kate Kemper (she/her/hers) is the Program Manager of the Center for Service Learning at the University of Kansas. She manages the Certificate in Service Learning program and course designation processes, oversees the Student Community Action Corps program, and supports all members of the CSL team in their projects.

Before coming to KU, she spent a year serving as a Green Iowa AmeriCorps member in Des Moines, Iowa.

Kate enjoys working in service learning because it is a valuable space and opportunity for students to put into practice the concepts they learn in the classroom, and critically reflect on their own experiences and perspectives on societal issues and community-created solutions.
