Dining at KJI
We have a variety of options when it comes to food at KJI.
When asked which dining experience they prefer, the Oliver Dining Hall or the Underground/Union, 4 out of 5 campers said they prefer the Oliver Dining Hall.
The picture above is of Quiana, a camper who really enjoys the food offered at KJI.
In this q and a, Quiana discusses the dining experience at KJI.
Construction stops water supply at KU
During a KJI workshop, a water main break on Monday resulted in Oliver Hall at KU to be without functioning water facilities. The break occurred during construction on the North side of campus. There are currently 126 students staying in the residence hall for the journalism workshop, as well as 11 counsellors.
We implore students to NOT use any water facilities in the hall. It remains unknown whether or not the water is safe to drink.
This includes:
- Toilets
- Showers
- Water fountains
- Sinks
Worst case scenario, the water will not be turned back on until Tuesday Morning. Meanwhile, students are encouraged to use the Union for all of their water needs.Jeff Browne, KJI Director, told reporters at a press conference, “I want to make sure they [KJI campers] are safe and comfortable.” Lawrence Water Works has been notified of the problem and will hopefully arrive soon to clear up the mess.
A tweet by Alexandra Gwillim
Oliver Hall’s water has been shut off due to a water main break disruption. Don’t shower, flush, or drink until further notice. #KJI50 @KUJournalism
