Diversity Programs Office Update
We hope all of you had a great spring break whether you were in Manhattan, KS or not……Welcome back! As the month of March swiftly moves forward, the Diversity Programs Office (DPO) would like to draw your attention to the following events:
• The K-State MANRRS Delegation is preparing for the 2018 National MANRRS Career Fair and Training Conference in Greensboro, NC. We are excited to take 10 students who will compete in research contests, poster competitions, attend workshops, network with corporate and governmental representatives and connect with peers from all over the USA! Wish us luck and safe travels!
• Congratulations to Tiffany Carter, PhD candidate in Agronomy. She has been awarded the 2018 NACTA Graduate Student Teaching award.
