Social Media & CSI Update Submission Forms in OrgCentral

During this time, we still put you and your organization at the forefront of what we do. We want to make sure that you have the opportunity to get your information about your organization out to the rest of the community.

We have added two submission forms in OrgCentral for your use – one for our social media platforms, Twitter and Instagram, and one for our weekly email newsletter, the CSI Update.

Please note: all organizations, DSOs and ISOs, are more than welcome to submit to the CSI Update. However, for the time being, only DSOs are able to submit for our social media platforms. Should this change, Center for Student Involvement will post a notice.

If you have any questions regarding the CSI Update, please contact Sara Heiman (sjheiman@k-state.edu).

If you have any questions regarding our social media platforms, please contact Marissa Vitols (mvvitols@k-state.edu).

Important Census 2020 Information

“The Census is important to the communities that surround K-State because of the funding decisions that will impact the services we all enjoy.

With recent campus changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students may have left their campus home for the academic year. The Census Bureau recommends that students be counted in their university community where they would normally be living. The following video explains more.”
