Kansas State University

Kansas State University hosted the 45th North American Power Symposium (NAPS 2013) in Manhattan Sept. 22-24. This happens to be a very special year in the history of Kansas State University as it is celebrating the 150th anniversary of its founding in 1863 as the first land-grant university in the nation. It is also an important year for the future as the university is moving forward to meet the goals of K-State 2025 to become a Top 50 public research university in the nation. This is the third time Kansas State University hosted NAPS, with the previous times in 1976 and 1994.

Sept. 11, 2013 marked the fourth annual Electrical Power Affiliates Program (EPAP) Day, inviting students and corporate members of EPAP to participate in a mini career day event, coordinated by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Students in electrical and computer engineering programs as well as other programs within the College of Engineering had a unique opportunity to visit with some of the most prominent companies in the power industry during a  1 ½ day event. Several activities were incorporated in EPAP Day to both benefit and introduce students to careers in the power industry. Specifically, students were given an opportunity to visit with fellow peers who have recently interned at one of the EPAP member companies, as well as engage in a networking pizza party the evening prior to EPAP Day.
