Kansas State University will lead the nation as a next-generation land-grant university – setting the standard for inspiring learning, creativity, discovery and engagement that positively impacts society and transforms lives in Kansas and around the world.
Leading the nation as a next-generation land-grant university
In September 2023, we launched into a bold new future at K-State guided by a vision of leading the nation as a next-generation land-grant university and accomplishing ten strategic imperatives by 2030. Our Next-Gen K-State strategic plan outlines how our university will transform to serve new kinds of learners, solve grand global challenges, and contribute to the economic prosperity of the state.
I invite you to learn more about how we are achieving our goals and setting the standard for what a highly engaged, people-centered, and learner-focused university can and should be.
Go 'Cats! – President Richard Linton
Our Plan
Leveraging our rich history as the nation’s first operational land-grant university, we will positively impact our communities, our economy and the world through teaching, research and service.
Faculty and Staff Funding Opportunities
Achieving excellence as a next-generation land-grant university requires adapting our processes, systems, and structures. The One K-State Fund supports the university's strategic projects that are driving changes in the way we work together as One K-State.
