Leading the nation as a next-generation land-grant university
In September 2023, we launched into a bold new future at K-State guided by a vision of leading the nation as a next-generation land-grant university and accomplishing ten strategic imperatives by 2030. Our Next-Gen K-State strategic plan outlines how our university will transform to serve new kinds of learners, solve grand global challenges, and contribute to the economic prosperity of the state.
I invite you to learn more about how we are achieving our goals and setting the standard for what a highly engaged, people-centered, and learner-focused university can and should be.
Go 'Cats! – President Richard Linton
