Kansas State University Olathe's Next-Gen Strategic Plan has been refreshed by campus action groups, including the addition of specific timelines and assignments by tactic. As a living document, the commitment is to ensure transparency and regular communications to key stakeholders about milestones achieved. From opening a new Student Success Center to strategic hires and program development, progress is underway.
Author Mark Winne recently visited campus to meet with faculty members and to discuss a grant, urban agriculture and what makes K-State Olathe unique. His article dives into how our students and faculty members are working to make nutritious and healthy food more readily available.
