If you're in your last semester, be sure to apply for spring graduation. Undergraduate students: direct any questions about graduation to your academic advisor.

Not the kind with Ferris wheels and funnel cakes, but still exciting if you're entering the job market! The Big 12 Virtual Career Fair will be held March 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CDT. Students can meet employers live online as they seek to recruit from Big 12 universities. K-State has some of the brightest, so put on your suit jacket and slippers (we won't tell), and get ready to browse the fair!
Congratulations to the online students who were invited to join Phi Kappa Phi. Fun fact: this is the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline honor society (and it’s legitimate, in case you were suspicious of the invite). Global Campus commends you on your efforts to qualify! Be sure to check out the many reasons to join.
Swap your purple for green and celebrate Irish history and culture today, 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.
Ah, spring. That time of year when flowers bloom, the grass turns green and temperature fluctuations leave you unable to decide whether or not to bring a jacket. (Spoiler alert: you'll be wrong either way.) Luckily for distance students, studying online means you can take your coursework outside for a change of scenery. Happy Spring!
