That's the Wildcat Way!
When a series of explosions rocked a grain elevator he was inspecting, Kansas State alumnus Kevin Saunders was launched into a parking lot more than 300 feet away. His body was broken, but his spirit was resilient. Defying all odds, Kevin transformed himself into the World's Greatest Wheelchair Athlete, a sought-after motivational speaker, and an inspiration to us all.
Kevin is just one example of what can happen when you embrace the Wildcat Way. That's what we'll be celebrating throughout the year during our 150th. K-State Olathe is the newest member of the family, still just barely two years old, but we're part of this rich and vibrant history -- and K-State's exciting future.
