MANHATTAN -- For the first time since the inception of the Big XII Conference, Kansas State University's Student Governing Association will host the Annual Big XII Student Government Conference. The 2008 conference will be Oct. 16-19 on the K-State campus and will include delegates from each of the Big XII student governments.
Lydia Peele, Olathe senior in math education, K-State student body vice president; and Amy Schultz, Manhattan junior in biology, K-State Student Senate vice chair, presented the winning bid at this year’s conference hosted by the University of Texas at Austin.
Peele said the presentation included information "regarding the unmatched campus style that sets K-State apart from other universities and the strong relationship between the university's administration and student government."
The conference will provide an outlet for student leaders to come together and share information about the excellent opportunities and policies happening on each of their respective campuses, while also learning from campus professionals on leadership development.
