Campus Announcements
Supervising students on the job workshop
Student employees provide a significant portion of the workforce that supports and maintains this campus community. To work effectively with this important group, a supervisor should be aware of students' work limitations, key university and federal policies, and helpful leadership techniques. A workshop that will aid supervisors with these skills has been scheduled for Tuesday, August 12 on the Salina campus.

Shanna Legleiter from human resources in Manhattan will be teaching the workshop and has two sessions available for sign-up. The first, "Customer Service Excellence for Student Employees" is from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Welcome Center and "Supervising Students on the Job" is from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the College Center Conference Room.

To enroll, log into HRIS and follow this path: Self-Service > Learning and Development > KSU Training Enrollment > Supervising Students....View Available Sessions > click on Session 0055. You can also contact Marlene Walker with questions - 785.826.2611.
CATS Community Outreach Program created for influx of international students
This fall at K-State Salina there will be an increased number of international students on campus, including approximately 60 from Brazil as well as students from the Czech Republic and Japan. In order to give these students a well-rounded USA and K-State experience, the CATS Community Outreach Program has been created.

K-State Salina is looking for families or church groups or community organizations to commit to sharing traditions with these students: taking them to sporting events, a play, a concert or a local festival, or sharing a holiday or family dinner with them. If you would like to participate or know someone that would, contact Dixie Schierlman at 785-826-2643 or [email protected].

Get ready for Fall Kickoff 2014
Calling all K-State Salina faculty and staff!! Fall Kickoff 2014 is scheduled for Monday, August 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The day is designed to connect all K-Staters with fun games, compelling videos and campus updates. There will also be prizes and breakfast and lunch will be served.

Fall Kickoff is an exciting time not only to bring everyone back together again but also to set the tone for the school year. Please plan on attending and having a good time!

Congratulations Lt. Andrew Talbott!!
Navy Lt. Andrew Talbott, 31, of Sedan, Kan., has been named a member of the 2015 U.S. Navy Blue Angels air show team. Talbott was a 2005 graduate of K-State Salina.
