Friday, April 21, 2017 in Manhattan
Get ready for our Spring Board of Trustees meeting, scheduled for Friday, April 21, 2017 in Manhattan. We’re working hard to put together an extraordinary showcase that will enhance your experience as one of K-State’s premier advocates, ambassadors and investors. You’ll learn about the state of the university and the foundation, the challenges we face and the emerging opportunities where you can make a difference.

You might notice a few differences in the next issue of Good for K-State magazine, which will arrive in homes before the Thanksgiving holiday. Based on a recent readership survey, we’ve made some improvements in content and design to engage our readers in more stories highlighting the impact of philanthropy at K-State, ideas for giving and more.
Of special note to trustees, we’ve added a new section entitled “Good Work,” which will feature our valued volunteers like you. To kick this new section off, we’re highlighting the Board of Trustees and their roles as K-State’s premier advocates, ambassadors and investors.
We hope you enjoy the next issue. If you have feedback on Good for K-State magazine, please contact Marisa Larson, KSU Foundation’s editorial manager and Good for K-State editor, at marisal@found.ksu.edu or 785-532-7648.

K-State family — including alumni and friends — are encouraged to take the pledge:
“No text message, email, website or video is worth the risk of endangering my life or the lives of others on the road. I pledge to not text and drive and will take action to educate others about the dangers of texting while driving. No text is worth the risk. It can wait.”
Take the pledge online or text Wildcat to 50555.
