At the fall meeting this year, trustees received a KSU Foundation Trustee flag to display at their home or on the go. If you were unable to attend the fall meeting, Jennifer will be sending your flag in the coming weeks.

Every time you raise your flag, you assist with student recruitment efforts, show your commitment to legislative advocacy and raise K-State to the ranks of the elite. Together, we can involve more students, alumni and friends as we aspire to reach higher and be the best.

Show your pride! Take a photo with your flag flying and send it to Jennifer Fabrizius at jenniferf@ksufoundation.org.

Thank you to trustees Al and Karen Walczak (flag pictured at top) and Jim and Debra Gordon (family and flag photo inset right) for sharing their flag photos!

You are K-State’s best ambassadors! Carry the banner high!
