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.
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.
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.
Departments and offices across the division seek qualified graduate assistants in a variety of student affairs positions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
