The fall 2024 schedule will also include six sections of DAS 100 Introduction to K-State Culture. These first-year seminars provide an introduction to the intellectual and cultural life of the university and support in the transition to college-level learning and college life.
K-State First is looking for faculty, student life professionals, or advisors at K-State who have experience working with new students and an interest in new student success. Instructors of EDCEP 111 will receive professional training, a stipend of $2,000 that can be taken as professional development funds or salary, and the support of an undergraduate learning assistant. DAS 100 faculty will also receive training, a $2,000 stipend and complimentary admission to the performances and events on the fall DAS 100 schedule.
