K-State Global Campus is hosting a graduation reception for distance education graduates and their guests from 4 to 5:30 p.m., Friday, May 11 at the K-State Alumni Center.

Do you want to be more than just a supervisor? Do you aspire to become a leader? Our new online graduate certificate in leadership dynamics provides practical strategies and insights that will help you make effective changes to inspire and move your team forward. Topics include conflict management, emotional intelligence and managing your staff. You or someone you know can learn more on the program website.
On-campus K-State students will be on spring break March 19-23. Online classes may have activities, assignments or exams due during this week, and it will vary by class and instructor. Please check your course syllabi or contact your instructor(s) if you have questions. University offices will remain open during this time.
Summer and fall 2018 enrollment is right around the corner. As you're finalizing your summer enrollment plans, don't forget to apply for summer financial aid (like scholarships, grants and loans). And back, for the first time since 2011, are Summer Federal Pell Grants. The Summer Financial Aid Application is live and can be submitted once you’ve enrolled. May the odds be ever in your favor.
Swap your purple for green and celebrate Irish history and culture Saturday, March 17. St. Patrick's Day gained its momentum in the U.S. when Irish immigrants and citizens decided to push back against negative stereotypes and show their pride for Ireland. We tip our hats to those 19th-century Irish-Americans who found a way to change hearts and minds through positive celebration.
