Office Administrator

Lindsey Aytes

My husband and I just recently moved to Manhattan for his position with USD 383. We have three grown children — Jennifer, Chris and Allison — and one grandson. We really enjoy living in a college community, and I’m happy to have found a part-time position at KSU.

Technology Co-ordinator

Murali Vupputuri

I’m the webmaster for the History Department and Institute for Military History & 20th Century Studies, currently doing my Masters in Computing and Information Sciences (CIS) here at K-State. I enjoy meeting new people and knowing about their cultures since I’m from Andhra Pradesh, India, a land of rich cultures and traditions. Movies, music, bikes and sports, especially cricket and soccer, are my passions. My main ambition is to help revolutionize today’s technologies. This website is maintained by me, so please feel free to send me a comment — they really help with development and maintenance. You can reach me at muraliv@ksu.edu

Jill Barber


I am a fifth-year senior majoring in Social Science from Clearwater, KS, which is southwest of Wichita. I’m interested in working in the Human/Social Services field. Some of my hobbies include snow skiing, fishing, going to the lake and cooking. I have been very active in the sport of rodeo my whole life, and in my spare time I also love to spend time with my family and friends. I will be graduating in May 2010 — and will be getting married that summer.

Sarah Davis

I'm a fifth-year history major originally from Columbus, Ohio. I'm especially interested in learning about religions, the Middle East, and modern America, and in my spare time I love to read, play backgammon, enjoy nature, and make curry. I am still not sure what I want to do when I grow up.
