The Office of the Vice President for Administration and Finance leads through operational excellence to advance the university’s mission and vision of becoming the next-generation land-grant university. Our mission is inspired by the goals established by the Next-Gen K-state strategic plan.
As K-State continues to implement its vision as a next-gen land-grant university, we recognize the need to more strongly align our budget model with our next-gen aspirations. The steering committee and external consultants will work to meet an aggressive timeline that will culminate in recommendations for budget process and model enhancements by the end of May 2025.
