#33 - Perseverance - Jarred Latta

Jarred Latta joined the Williams Fund as a graduate assistant in May 2017, after spending a year in the Kansas Athletics Sales & Service department as a New Business & Development Consultant.

Latta’s primary responsibilities include providing quality control to ensure that all donors’ needs are met and inquiries are answered, assisting 125+ major gift accounts, overseeing all social media and representing the athletics department at various functions.

Prior to his time with Kansas Athletics, he interned with the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Kansas City Royals Triple-A affiliate in Omaha, Nebraska. Latta wore many hats during his time with the organization. He heavily was involved with the day-to-day of the front office as well as contributing to special projects and gameday operations before returning to his alma mater.

A native of Iola, Kansas, Latta played baseball at Allen County Community College. Following his time at ACCC, he transferred to the University of Kansas and earned a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management in 2016. He is working toward completing his MBA in the spring of 2019.

In his spare time, he likes spending time with family and friends, working out, attending Kansas City Royals games and cheering on the Jayhawks. His favorite aspect of working with the Williams Education Fund is connecting with donors and hearing their stories of what being a Jayhawk means to them.

Latta resides in Lawrence with his fiancé, Mychal, and son, Hudson.
