Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

The Career Center at Kansas State University affirms our long-standing commitment to offer a welcoming and inclusive environment for all K-State students. We endeavor to do that by:

• Hiring a diverse Career Center team
• Designating liaisons to historically excluded student groups
• Facilitating intercultural training among departmental employees
• Requiring SafeZone training for all advising staff
• Providing diversity, equity and inclusion resources for students
• Collaborating with multicultural advocates
• Holding employers accountable to K-State’s notice of non-discrimination and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) principles of ethical professional practice, and facilitating K-State’s principles of community among our staff, students, employers and campus community
• Providing an Employer of Concern online form that alerts the executive director to diversity, equity or inclusion concerns about employers recruiting through the Career Center

As part of Academic Success and Student Affairs, we also support the division’s strategic plan and commitment to “see, hear and serve the whole student and maximize their potential to graduate, enter the workforce, and grow as a compassionate, ethical and engaged member of society.” We will do our part to—

• Listen and engage
• Empower students to engage in problem-solving
• Advocate for equity
• Champion holistic well-being
• Foster a welcoming community
