K-State begins plan to become a top 50 public university
“The ranking and prestige of Kansas State University is of critical importance to our graduates as they seek jobs, our students as they apply to top tier graduate programs, our doctoral students as they look for career opportunities in the research world, and our faculty members as they compete with better funded and ranked universities on a daily basis.”
That’s what K-State President Kirk Schulz told the students, faculty and staff as he provided details on K-State 2025, an ambitious plan to take the university to greater heights within the next 15 years.
“People want to invest in a winner — and the different constituent groups who support Kansas State want to invest in a university they perceive as moving upward to new heights of achievement,” Schulz said.
A visionary plan for K-State is absolutely critical in these difficult economic times, Schulz said.
“Now is the best time to do a plan, so that as new resources become available, we have thought carefully through what we want to do as we seek to build our national reputation,” he said.
