CECD solicits proposals from tenured and tenure-track faculty, full-time instructors and KSRE specialists and agents for projects that will lead to enhanced engagement in teaching, research, and/or outreach.  

 

Engagement is defined as "a form of research, teaching or service in which collaborative efforts between university and community stakeholders result in scholarly activity and community benefit around a public issue."

Manhattan Experimental Theater Workshop is subject of documentary

In 1989, Jim Hamilton's son and daughter asked if he would teach a directing class. The K-State philosophy professor stepped up to the challenge and created the five-week Manhattan Experimental Theater Workshop (MXTW), held every summer at the Manhattan Arts Center. Twenty-five years later, the workshop is so successful it recently became the subject of a documentary, "Dreaming in Flames: Theater." Read more.

The inaugural trade show specifically invites retailers and companies looking to sell food, dairy, value added products, specialty crops, wine, spirits and beverages from Kansas for retail. However, all companies that produce agricultural products grown, raised or produced in Kansas who are not From the Land of Kansas™ members are invited to participate and attend the trade show.

 

In addition to featuring booths from member companies, the trademark team will also assist retailers and companies looking to purchase Kansas products or schedule appointments with member companies of interest. The From the Land of Kansas trademark team will work to maximize your experience.

Kansas State University established the Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy (ICDD) in 2004 to enhance democracy through improved community deliberation. Soon after, the Center for Engagement and Community Development (CECD) was created by K-State in 2006 to connect the resources of the university to significant issues of public need facing Kansas and communities worldwide. To help sustain rural communities due to growing economic problems, CECD launched the Rural Grocery Initiative (RGI) in 2008.
