From rock chalk to rock and roll: KU was a launching pad for graduates’ band
In 2009 the final battle between superheroes and intergalactic spaceships ensued. Two battles had already occurred, and the intergalactic forces had won twice. Yet, in the final stand in Hollywood, superheroes – and a Jayhawk—prevailed.
At the Emmy awards that year, “Heroes,” the popular TV drama about everyday people with superpowers, defeated the sci-fi show “Battlestar Galactica” in Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series. The series had missed out on the honor to “Battlestar Galactica" the previous two years. Chris Martin, a graduate of the KU College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, accepted the award as Digital Compositing Supervisor for “Heroes.”
This year's Homecoming theme is Jayhawks Around the World, which celebrates KU's global reach in terms of students, faculty and alumni.

We caught up with a few College of Liberal Arts & Sciences alumni whose careers take them around the world to see what it's like living so far from Lawrence.
