District Director Notes - Jay Harris
I have mentioned in previous newsletters the Regional Community Visit that will happen in the Cottonwood District on November 7th and 8th. K-State's regional community visits foster relationships and connections across the state, allowing yet another venue for K-State to carry out its land-grant mission for the state of Kansas. When K-State visits the Cottonwood District, you can expect: a community open forum where you can learn how K-State supports local Kansas communities and share your ideas for how to strengthen the university’s impact specifically in your area, listening/learning sessions with community leaders designed to facilitate critical dialogue to build solutions for Kansans, visits with local partnerships and initiatives, celebrating the incredible work Kansans do every day and a future student information session that lets you hear directly from students about K-State.
Everyone in the district is invited to attend the Open Forum to be held at the Great Bend Events Center on November 7th, 5:30 - 7:00 pm. If you did not receive an invite, please call one of the district offices or email me at [email protected]. You can also drop by that evening and we can get you registered.
On November 8th we will be hosting two listening/learning sessions in the district. The first is at the Kansas Wetland Education Center with the topic of water quality. The second is in Hays at The Venue with the topic of childcare. If you have interest in attending either one of the sessions, please email me at [email protected] for more details.
