Diversity Programs Office Update
As the month of July comes to a close, the Diversity Programs Office would like to draw your attention to the following events.
• The 2018 MAPS program has concluded. The 2018 cohort worked diligently throughout the summer in their 9 credit hours of coursework and their sustainability projects. They proudly showcased their sustainability research with poster presentations in the Engineering Hall Atrium on Wednesday, July 18. The MAPS program concluded with a closing banquet on Thursday, July 19. We are very proud of our new College of Ag students and look forward to seeing them as incoming freshmen this fall.
• Please join us on Thursday, July 26, as our K-State Research & Extension (KSRE) Summer Research Fellow program concludes with oral presentations of student research conducted throughout the summer. Our KSRE research fellows have worked extremely hard on their research and their presentations. The presentations will be held in 137 Waters Hall starting at 10 a.m. We would greatly appreciate your support.
