Active Initiatives
Academic Success and Student Affairs is working within our reporting units and collaborating across the university on initiatives that support students' success at K-State and beyond.
Central Kansas Mental Health Center
Kansas State University has partnered with Central Kansas Mental Health Center to provide students with 24/7 mental health support via phone. K-Staters can call 785-515-6143, day or night, and speak to someone about their mental health concerns.
Culture of Respect Collective
K-State has joined a group of 21 colleges and universities from across North America for the sixth cohort of NASPA's Culture of Respect Collective program. The Collective is an ambitious two-year program dedicated to helping end campus sexual violence that guides cohort institutes through a rigorous process of self-assessment and targeted organizations change.
Financial Futures
Finances is one of the top stressors for college students. Financial Futures is a comprehensive university-wide effort aimed at addressing the needs of K-State students and promoting financial well-being.
Graduate Assistantships
Departments and offices across the division seek qualified graduate assistants in a variety of student affairs positions.
Health Promoting University
K-State adopted the Okanagan Charter in November 2023, formally committing to becoming a Health Promoting University. As an HPU, K-State prioritizes the physical, mental, and emotional health of those on our campuses, as well as those in the broader university community.
JED Campus
To help us create a healthier and safer university, we've partnered with the JED Foundation, which operates the JED Campus Initiative to assess current university programs and look for ways to enhance a school's mental health and suicide prevention systems, programs, and policies.
K-State Student Success Playbook (pdf)
Prepared by the National Institute for Student Success, the playbook outlines priorities for standardizing advising protocols and technology to deliver proactive, consistent and data-informed advising across the university, and aligning K-State's advising model with national best practices.
Peer Mentoring Collaborative
Help cultivate meaningful connections among students by serving as a peer mentor. Or, find a peer mentor to make your K-State experience more fullfilling. Mentors and mentees foster a sense of belonging, develop critical thinking skills, and enhance their interperson communication skills.
