Inspiration takes flight!
Inspiration took flight on Jan. 27, when more than 190 K-Staters were inspired by an Innovation and Inspiration Campaign event at Hangar 600 in Salina, Kansas. The event included a cocktail reception, a campaign presentation and dessert reception featuring many of K-State’s aviation fleet and equipment. Many thanks to all who attended these events and helped to make them a success!
Here’s a look back in photos at this extraordinary evening:

We had a great time. Dean Fitzsimmons does a fantastic job there. Hearing the speakers–faculty and former students– was inspirational as well as educational. The aviation program is on of the nation’s best and will be filling a real need for commercial pilots and drone operators in the coming years. Keep up the good work and let us know if we can assist in any way!
