The Street Fair Committee
• The focus of this committee is to plan and design the KUMC Street Fair, which occurs annually. The Street Fair is an outdoor carnival and festival that incorporates the surrounding Rosedale community as well as KUMC. The event is partners with the Rosedale Rainbow Parade. This is an “all-school” event that relies on student involvement from Nursing, Graduate Studies, Allied Health, and Medicine. Working on this project provides a great creative outlet for a wonderful cause, as all proceeds go to charity. The presidents of this committee will oversee several different Street Fair sub-committees.
