Apply for Catalyst self-development course

Submitted by Natalie Nusz

Catalyst is a semesterlong program facilitated by members of the Blue Key Senior Honorary. It provides an opportunity to invest in your own success, specifically with personal habits and lessons.

Throughout the semester, participants will interact in small groups, discussing self-mastery and leadership, accountability through collaboration, and how to maintain momentum. This program will give you an opportunity to have fun and build relationships, discovering your capabilities as an individual along the way.

Catalyst is open to all students, with a focus on freshmen and sophomores. Catalyst members will experience a semester of topics related to personal growth. This will include goal setting, building motivation, establishing self-confidence, evaluating relationships, dealing with obstacles and many more.

Your Blue Key leaders will engage your small group with discussions centered around a customized curriculum designed to help you grow. There will also be opportunities to listen to stories from passionate leaders from K-State in large lectures. There is no cost to participate in Catalyst, and the lessons learned will remain with you long after you graduate from K-State. Catalyst participants will have the opportunity to compete for a scholarship through a TED Talk-style competition. More details will be available in the spring to Catalyst students.

Applications are now open and will close at 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 10. The application is available online.

For more information, please contact Natalie Nusz or Colleen Fulton.
