The Center will enrich our learning environment and foster an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere that promotes student academic success, personal empowerment and contributes to the overall culture of K-State and Manhattan communities. The Center rejects racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and all other forms of discrimination. Find out more here.

Applied Fragrances in the Conference Environment: In the interest of supporting those with sensitivity to alcohols, chemicals, and scents due to health issues, we ask that attendees refrain from wearing perfumes or fragrances.

Perfumes and fragrances (including scented lotions) can negatively affect people with multiple chemical sensitive syndrome (MCS), asthma, those recovering from COVID-19, and/ or autoimmune disorders. For every 100 people in America, there are an average of 10 with asthma, 20 with an autoimmune disorder, and/or 12.5 with MCS, and we still don’t know the long term health impacts from those dealing with Long Haul COVID-19.

University Covid-19 Protocols and Procedures: Kansas State University's priority will always be to protect the health and safety of everyone at K-State and in our communities. For all University related Covid-19 data and updates please click here to access the University Covid-19 webpages.
