Alumni Fellows

The Kansas State University Alumni Fellows Program , sponsored by the Dean's Council, the President's Office and the Alumni Association, recognizes alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers.

Since 1983 the program has brought successful alumni back to campus to meet with students and faculty to share their expertise in the classroom and at informal settings.

Fellows are chosen to return as distinguished guests and as mentors, friends and counselors. They are honored in recognition of the ultimate measure of a university: not curricula, facilities or programs, but the quality of its alumni.
