Big news! We changed our name! The School of Family Studies and Human Services gave well-wishes to Personal Financial Planning as they formed their own department this summer while we welcomed two programs—General Human Ecology and Family and Consumer Sciences Education—into our newly renamed Department of Applied Human Sciences. We are excited for this name change as it follows national trends and better represents our programs and degrees. I’m also happy to share that we are the only department in the college to partner with the College of Education to deliver two Kansas State Department of Education licensure programs.
We are fortunate to have discerning and progressive faculty, staff, and alumni to guide us through our many changes throughout the year. See the timeline below on how our department has modified itself to meet the needs of the families and communities that we serve and support.
Read on to learn more about the innovations we have been up to since last spring. I welcome the opportunity to visit about your experiences and ideas for the department. Please feel free to contact me and as always, Go CATS!
