Thursday, Oct. 6, 2016
MANHATTAN — A Kansas State University honorary has selected 37 freshmen to experience the university using a backstage pass during the 2016-2017 academic year.
Quest, the freshman honorary, is a student organization that works to develop leaders through campus involvement. Upon selection, members of Quest are paired with mentors from Blue Key, a senior honor society.
Members are given a behind-the-scenes look at everything that Kansas State University has to offer. From touring the athletic facilities to enjoying lunch at the university president's home, connecting with student leaders across campus to giving back through service opportunities in Manhattan, Quest provides freshmen leaders with the tools necessary to give back to the K-State family.
The events and activities of the Quest program are supported by a gift from ConocoPhillips.
