If the proof is in the numbers, our case is clear. From first-year freshmen to tenured professors to entire departments, K-Staters are known for aiming high, and then looking even higher. K-State is consistently ranked in the top 10 for many prominent Princeton Review rankings, we boast some of the highest numbers of national scholars in a public university, and our experts are called on to solve problems around the world.

It's safe to say that these accomplishments are just the tip of the purple iceberg, and we have no intention of slowing down.
