Connected 'Cats
About Connected 'Cats
Student experience is a central component to the regional community visits. Students will be leading and connecting in a variety of ways before, during and after the visits.
A student group, Connected 'Cats, is the core of students who will provide leadership for the day. Connected 'Cats are student leaders who have a diverse range of K-State experiences, a meaningful connection to engaged community work and personal ties to the geographic regions for this academic year's community visits.
There are two roles for Connected 'Cats: student event leaders and student engagement leaders. Both are integral to the planning and implementation of the presidential regional community events.

For each community visit, student event leaders from that community will tell their K-State stories and help to lead the day's events. These students have a personal connection to their assigned sites.
