Statewide Office Professionals Retreat
Submitted by Carla Nemecek, Amy Sollock, Aliesa Good

With warmer weather on the horizon, the Regional Directors are planning a special event designed exclusively for K-State Research & Extension Office Professionals. We're excited to extend this invitation to you for a state-wide Office Professional Retreat, where we aim to foster camaraderie, promote engagement, and facilitate learning while providing an opportunity to connect with the various staff and departments on the K-State Campus.
Date: May 21-22, 2025
Join us for 2 days filled with engaging activities, insightful sessions, and opportunities to network with fellow office professionals from across the state. This retreat is designed to develop professional development, build lasting relationships, and create community among our dedicated office professionals.
Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:
- Pre-Tour at the Morgan Family Arena, a new home for Wildcat Volleyball.
- Interactive sessions in Justin Hall and Hale Library, led by campus staff and departments to provide insights into their roles and how we can collaborate more effectively.
- Workshops focused on enhancing office management skills, productivity, and personal development.
- Networking opportunities to meet and connect with peers from other Extension offices, sharing experiences and best practices.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to your career with KSRE, this retreat will offer something valuable for everyone. It's a chance to step away from your daily routine, gain new perspectives, and return to your office refreshed and inspired. Although this will be held on the K-State campus, the training will take place in different buildings with different speakers than in 2024, so don't miss out.
A registration link and more details will be released next week, so save the dates on your May 2025 calendar now!
