Diversity at K-State

Kansas State University has long maintained a demonstrable commitment to diversity and inclusion. Since 1863, as the nation’s first operational land-grant university, K-State has heralded “full educational privileges” with open enrollment to all students regardless of gender, race or creed. From the very beginning, our commitment to access, opportunity and success has remained unchanged.

Check out the following initiatives & programs K-State has put in place to follow it's mission to empower all members and remove barriers throughout our campus caused by social injustice and inequity to provide access to all regardless of identities.
