Enjoy great K-State lectures from anywhere

This fall, K-State student, faculty, staff, alumni and community members packed McCain Auditorium to hear Dr. Temple Grandin — author, world-renowned autism spokesperson, consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior and professor of animal science at Colorado State University — as part of K-State’s Landon Lecture Series.
