K-State United Way

United is the Way.

United Way's worldwide mission to "improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities" directly aligns with K-State's land-grant mission of improving the lives of Kansans through service. Kansas State University's long tradition of supporting United Way is a shining example of how the university is fulfilling its duty to help Kansas when it needs it most.
