Howdy folks! My name is Gâvvy Sanders; I’m a second-year from Texas! I attended the University of North Texas, where I graduated with bachelor’s degrees in political science and communication studies (with emphasis in decolonial feminist studies). I came to Kansas to pursue my M.A. in indigneous studies and my Juris Doctor. I hope to work on impact litigation for issues concerning Indian Country.

I chose KU Law because of the sense of belonging the school exudes. Whoever you are and wherever you’ve been, there is a space for you here at KU Law. We also have a really strong faculty that’s dedicated to supporting students here, and I felt that so deeply at Admitted Students Weekend. 

I came from out of the state and understand the anxieties that come with visiting a new place in a new state, so if you’re in town here are some places I recommend to get a feel of the Lawrence vibe: 

- Visit Molcajetes and then walk around Mass Street!

- Visit the Spencer Art Museum (free entry)!

- Check out a Drag Show at the Bottleneck or Lucias!

Please reach out if you have any questions!
