About Next-Gen K-State

A comprehensive and inclusive process to strategic planning and engagement.

Planning Process

In July 2022, the K-State community set out on an ambitious, inclusive and comprehensive process to define our future as a "next-generation land-grant university."

More than 10,000 surveys, interviews, focus groups, listening sessions and other conversations yielded an array of thoughts, perspectives and ideas -- from those that apply to the university and all those we serve, to those with narrower but still vital bearing on the colleges, units, departments or other elements of our institution. This plan elevates the bold ideas generated through many of these discussions -- namely, opportunities that move us in a direction that is significantly different from where K-State has been before and deliver tremendous value to all those we serve in bold, exciting and transformative ways.
