Volunteer to get involved in Open House
Volunteer to Expand Your (social) Network at K-State Open House and to show off your purple pride. The university's largest annual event attracts more than 20,000 people. Open House showcases more than 250 majors and options, 475-plus organizations and everything K-State has to offer. This year, the K-State Open House will be Saturday, April 21. Open House on the Manhattan campus will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On the Salina campus, Open House will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Learn more about Open House events at: k-state.edu/openhouse.
Open House is primarily student-driven and student-led. More than 1,000 K-Staters work at exhibit tables, organize entertainment options, guide visitors around campus, help with set-up and clean-up and more. Most students volunteer for a few hours and later visit exhibits with family and friends.
