KHC also relies on donations from people like you. Please thank the Friends of the Humanities who support KHC.  
Employment Opportunity

The Director of Grants and Programs at the Kansas Humanities Council understands the power of a good idea, appreciates the importance of citizen discussions, values the work of hometown museums and libraries in strengthening community, and believes that the humanities offer critical insight and a-ha moments. This is a job that needs someone organized, detail-oriented, self-motivated, skilled with computers and databases, and armed with a humanities background. The complete job description with qualifications can be found here. Applications are still being accepted. It's anticipated that interviews will begin after Thanksgiving.
Giving Thanks 

The Kansas Humanities Council is thankful to the Kansans who bring humanities conversations and programs to communities across the state:
  • the local coordinators who organize hundreds of Statehood Speakers Bureau presentations, TALK book discussions, FLIKS film discussions, and Shared Stories of the Civil War reader's theater events throughout the year;   
  • the project directors whose grant projects promote humanities discussions and preserve local history;
  • the speakers and discussion leaders who travel Kansas to share ideas and spark discussion;
  • the event participants who contribute to rich community conversations;
  • the Kansas Humanities Council Board of Directors whose expertise and vision guides our work;
  • and the Friends of the Humanities whose support makes the humanities happen in Kansas. 
Thanks for the memories! We hope you enjoy this look back at some KHC-supported Statehood Anniversary events from 2011:
