The fall leaves are beginning to change and things continue to change at K-State Olathe. New faculty, new students, new classes, and new labs. We hope that if you haven't had the opportunity to stop in, that you will soon - whether it's for a professional development opportunity, a class, a K-12 event, or even just for a tour. Our doors are open.

Strength in Numbers
Another enrollment record has been broken at Kansas State University. This fall, 24,581 students make up the largest enrollment in the university's 150-year history. President Kirk Schulz said, "When students and parents see that we aspire to become a Top 50 public research university by 2025, they realize that this is a place where students can set their own big goals and find the encouragement and support to achieve them."
At K-State Olathe, we have doubled our enrollment from last year, and with more programs and faculty arriving, this number will continue to contribute to the 2025 goal, and the K-State family history.
The 150th anniversary is coming to a close this month, and a time capsule will be stowed away on the Manhattan campus. Artifacts from K-State Olathe will be included, and many years from now when it is opened, our successors will look back at the beginning of something wonderful at K-State Olathe.
Thanks for coming along with us on the journey.
