Access and Disability Accommodations
As we come to the close of October, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the resources available to K-State Research and Extension regarding access and disability accommodations. This is important information to ensure that we are prepared as a workforce to be “One K-State” and meet the needs of all 105 counties in Kansas. You can find a comprehensive review of diversity and inclusion resources here: https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/employee_resources/dei/index.html.
K-State Research and Extension programs are open to all, and Kansas State University is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services and activities. There may be an occasion when you receive a request to provide accommodations to support the full participation of one of your program participants.
The following statement should appear on all event registration materials and program announcements:
