About the New Faculty Institute
Welcome to Kansas State University! K-State's New Faculty Institute (NFI) is a university-wide program to introduce newly hired faculty to our missions of teaching, research and service, and to facilitate their success at K-State. NFI will offer information, networking, training, and peer mentoring. NFI participants first meet at the New Faculty-Staff Orientation during August, and then at three regular sessions each semester during the academic year. All NFI sessions are hosted by university faculty leaders with expertise in the topic areas. If you have questions or would like more information about the New Faculty Institute, email us at catl@k-state.edu or contact Jana Fallin.

Konza Prairie Event
Come experience the Konza Prairie Bison Loop Tour! This exciting event is a great way to learn about the tallgrass prairie. The Konza Environmental Education Program offers guided tours of the Konza Prairie Biological Station, giving you the opportunity to see parts of the prairie not usually open to the public. Bring your family and don't forget your camera!
