K-State Polytechnic students attend Women in Aviation conference in Nashville
The Women in Aviation Club goes country! About a week ago, club members and advisor, Lindsey Dreiling, traveled to Nashville for the annual Women in Aviation conference. During their stay, the group met with the WIA founder; attended educational sessions, a networking fair and conference festivities; and personally spoke with John and Martha King of King Schools for two hours while touring their Falcon 10. Members also enjoyed a taste of Music City during their down time.

A big thank you to the club members for representing K-State Polytechnic on a national level, and thank you, Lindsey, for being their fearless leader!

K-State Polytechnic aviation maintenance grad visits campus
We are proud to have welcomed 1999 aviation maintenance management grad, Lisa Stewart, to campus a few weeks ago. She is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and currently works for CAMP Systems International. 

Lisa was demonstrating the CAMP Systems database and how students can utilize it for electronic records, logbook entries, and technical data, as well as engine health monitoring. 

A high-five is one of the most recognizable ways two people can share excitement or celebrate a job well done. Kansas State Polytechnic's CEO and Dean Verna Fitzsimmons awards her high-five each week to honor faculty, staff and students for their dedication to the university.

High-Five to Dr. Rick Zajac
Congratulations to Dr. Rick Zajak for being selected as this year's Kansas State University Presidential Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching recipient. Competition for this prestigious acknowledgement was very strong this year, and it is a testament to Rick's effectiveness as a teacher that the committee recommended him to receive the award. This is exciting and wonderful for Rick and our campus.  Congratulations and well done!
High-Five to Joel Mathews
Congratulations to Joel Mathews, professor of psychology, who spoke at this month's Civic Luncheon Lecture. The topic was on different world religions and there were hardly any seats left in the College Center conference room. There was very positive feedback from community members, students, faculty and staff who attended. The Salina Journal also published a great story about the lecture. Great job Joel!
