K-State College of Education

Four days. Three nights. Countless memories. 💜🍎

The Future EDCATS Summit gave future educators a true taste of life at K-State! From bowling at the K-State Student Union and exploring the Riley County Fair, Sunset Zoo, and Wonder Workshop to touring K-State Athletics facilities—including West Stadium Center, Morgan Family Arena, Bramlage Coliseum, and the Shamrock Zone—every day brought a new adventure.

Students also experienced campus life with a visit to the Student Recreation Center, spent time with Oakley the therapy dog, learned from outstanding College of Education professors, and wrapped up the week by presenting their projects and celebrating everything they accomplished.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Future EDCATS Summit an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to see where these future educators go next! 🐾💜

Pura Vida, EDCATS! 🇨🇷

Ten EdCats and two faculty leaders spent nine days in rural Costa Rica teaching alongside local educators in a rural early childhood/elementary school and a high school. We co-taught in English and Spanish, applied new ESL strategies, and discovered that great teaching engages in every language. Then we traded classrooms for the rainforest, exploring ecology, biology, and environmental science through unforgettable hands-on adventures.

🎉 Congratulations to our Future EDCATS Summit Scholarship Winners! 🍎💜

These outstanding students have earned scholarships to attended the Future EDCATS Summit, where they spent four unforgettable days exploring the teaching profession, experiencing life at K-State, connecting with future educators, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We can't wait to welcome you to campus and see the impact you'll make as the next generation of educators. Congratulations! 🐾
