JOIN US FOR OUR RESEARCH SHOWCASE MAY 11th FROM 10-2

Students will present the innovative research they completed this semester in addition to exhibits of our digital projects, refreshments and more! This year's round up includes new research on Clyde Cessna of aviation and agricultural fame, the lost town of Rock, Kansas, digital preservation of an original diary through Optical Character Recognition software and an overview and interpretation of first hand experiences narrated by several Vietnam veterans who call Kansas home. 

This is an opportunity to share our student's work with K-State and our public history communities. We also gratefully recognize donors and the engaged community members who invest in our students to help them develop the personal confidence and professional skills the y will need in their futures. 

We hope you will join us. RSVP today!
