Mike Finnegan
Mike Finnegan shares his genuine enthusiasm for leadership with incoming students through Introduction to Leadership Concepts. He understands that the K-State campus is a vital laboratory for and demonstration of the extraordinary leadership of our students. The campus benefits, as do our communities, but it is the benefit to students that, for Mike, sparks his greatest energy. “Our students learn about themselves and learn from the life experiences of their classmates. We are just as much in the business of relationship building as we are leadership.” Click here to read more about this person.
