WorldWide Wildcats Weekly Email
March 14, 2023
Many of you will be beginning the spring semester's second round of 8-week classes next week. This is a reminder to check your K-State email and Canvas for information and announcements from your instructors. Enrollment will remain open until the first day of the class. View available options through the KSIS class search. Our apologies if you also now have Livin' on a Prayer stuck in your head. We'll make it, I swear.
Looking for ways to build community as an online student? Consider participating in this great opportunity, available via Zoom! 'Cats Connect is a peer-facilitated program where members will get to know each other through a series of fun and thought-provoking questions. Session 2 meets weekly beginning the week of March 27 through April 28. Register by March 22.
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 22 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!
This is a friendly reminder that the first round of summer and fall enrollment starts next week. A little prep work now (i.e. reviewing DARS, selecting classes and connecting with your advisor or major professor) will save a big headache later (i.e. missing out on classes that have filled, potentially causing a delay in graduation and having to wait longer for celebration cake). View your enrollment date and check off those boxes early.
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. Come Monday, Happy Spring!
Swap your purple for green and celebrate Irish history and culture this Friday, 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.
Students enrolled in a K-State Online bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree program are encouraged to apply for summer 2023 scholarships. View the commencement website for a detailed schedule of events. Stay on track with the Graduate School's master's or doctoral checklists.
