Our student-athletes will greatly benefit from their presence.”

A former student manager for the Kansas men’s basketball program, Ashton Pilz spent two seasons with the Jayhawk program. Pilz helped with all food operations during the 2020-21 season and was solely responsible with dinner operations for the team. She assisted with various other tasks including practices, game day operations as well as equipment and gear. Pilz graduated from KU in 2021 with a degree in sport management and a minor in business.
