Mission Statement

 

The Developing Scholars Progam has the following intentions

 

  • To engage selected students in scholarly activities with faculty at Kansas State University;
  • To increase the numbers of intellectually curious underrepresented students (students from multicultural backgrounds or first-generation college students) who choose K-State;
  • To improve the retention of said students by matching them with faculty mentors to provide early opportunities for scholarly research in their field of study;
  • To guide said students toward graduate and professional schools;
  • To provide a more diverse community of scholars and a faculty more cognizant of diverse perspectives.
