“It was a good environment to get to know other K-Staters, especially on a deeper, more personal level.”
Are you looking for a way to meet and connect with other K-Staters? Do you want to help build our K-State community? If so, sign up for 'Cats Connect—a program at Kansas State University designed to build community through conversation!
‘Cats Connect is a peer-to-peer facilitated program designed to help groups of 4-7 Wildcats meet and develop friendships outside of their regular social circles. Groups meet for one hour for five consecutive weeks. During each meeting, everyone will have the opportunity to respond to a series of fun and thought-provoking questions and engage in a small connection project.
