underway. Early sign up sheets have already been around to the houses, and
donations have already started rolling in. Proud is an organization

to grant student awards to K-State students in need.
The next opportunity to participate in the Proud campaign is on Monday February
8. There is an official campaign kickoff in Union Station at 7 pm.
The kickoff event is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the
campaign, be one of the first to donate, and hear the honorary co-chair,
Michael Wesch, speak!
The official K-State Proud Week is going to be held on the week of the 22-26.
The week will consist of activities on campus throughout the days, all
culminating in the K-State men's basketball game against Missouri on Saturday
