Kansas State University faculty members granted sabbatical leave
Kansas State University is granting sabbatical leave to 45 faculty members during the 2024-2025 academic year.
The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to provide faculty with the opportunity for scholarly and professional enrichment. Sabbatical leave allows faculty members to pursue advanced study, conduct research studies, engage in scholarly and creative activities, or secure appropriate industrial or professional experience. Once faculty members return from their sabbaticals, they are expected to share the knowledge and experience they gained with their students, colleagues and the K-State community.
