Kansas State University has won the prestigious Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award for the tenth consecutive year, thanks to its efforts in fostering a campus culture where everyone feels at home, as highlighted by "Insight Into Diversity" magazine.
K-State, a trailblazer among land-grant universities, believes in the power of education for all. They break barriers to ensure every student feels a sense of belonging, providing resources, activities, and financial aid to catapult students towards success, one graduation at a time.
K-State University is fostering a diverse campus community through various programs, including over 400 student organizations, tailored transition programs like KOMPASS for new students, and financial support initiatives like the K-State Land Grant Promise. These initiatives aim to create a tapestry of backgrounds and ideas, fostering a sense of belonging and community among students.
K-State isn't just making waves in Kansas. They're part of an elite league of 109 institutions nationally recognized by “Insight Into Diversity” — the only one in Kansas, no less!
K-State should continue blazing trails, closing gaps, and championing the potential of every student, as diversity is not just celebrated but also crucial for a richer, more successful future for everyone.
