Pride Magazine:

Alumni have the opportunity to read about classmates and the college in "The King's College PRIDE". A section of each publication , published three times a year, is entitled "Class Notes" giving you the opportunity to pass to pass on personal news items to your college friends.

Alumni License Plates:

Affinity license plates are a great way to show off your King's pride. They are available now in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The Pennsylvania plate features the college shield and crown with the letters KC in gold on the (mandatory) blue plate.
