A message from President Richard Myers:
The insensitive comments posted by one K-State student hurts our entire community. These divisive statements do not represent for the values of our university. We condemn racism and bigotry in all its forms.
We are launching an immediate review of the university’s options. Black Lives Matter at Kansas State University and we will continue to fight for social justice.
(1/2) “The K-State Family is deeply saddened to learn of former K-State President Jon Wefald's passing. Dr. Wefald's legacy is one of transformation, growth and a true passion for our great university…” -K-State President Richard Linton

To the spot that we love full well.
On this day in 1863, Kansas State Agricultural College was established as the nation's first operational land-grant university. Today, that same institution that we now know as Kansas State University, turns 160.
Hail, Hail, Hail, Alma Mater.
Our thoughts are with President Linton and his family during this time. 💜
The K-State family is invited to a community showcase of support for President Linton today at 5 p.m. on the Anderson Hall lawn.

Today begins a semester like none before it. We ask all K-Staters to show the community and the world how we can all be a part of something bigger.
Wear a mask.
Wash your hands.
Avoid congregating on or off campus.
And, most importantly, be patient with yourself and others.
