Freshmen honorary Quest selects 2018-2019 members

Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2018 

 

MANHATTAN — Following a competitive application process, 34 first-year students have been selected as members of Kansas State University's Quest Freshmen Honorary.

Quest works to develop freshmen leaders through mentorship, personal development and campus involvement. Upon selection, members of Quest are paired with mentors from Blue Key, the senior honor society. Under the leadership of Blue Key, Quest takes a behind-the-scenes look at everything that the university has to offer. From touring the athletic facilities, enjoying lunch at the university president's home, connecting with student leaders across campus, to giving back through service opportunities in Manhattan, Quest provides freshmen leaders with the tools necessary to give back to the Kansas State University family.
