Robert Large, an attorney in the Office of General Counsel, has been named senior associate general counsel.
Large, who has been with the Office of General Counsel for nearly four years in total, was appointed to the position by General Counsel Shari Crittendon.
"Robert has consistently demonstrated excellence and innovation in his work, resulting in meaningful contributions throughout his tenure," Crittendon said. "He is an invaluable and integral part of the OGC team."

Large first joined the Office of General Counsel in 2016. After a period of time working as an associate general counsel for Florida State University, Large returned to the K-State Office of General Counsel in a remote capacity in 2019.
