Don't forget: the second webinar in our K-State Cares Insight Series is TONIGHT, July 29. We're talking about student support and involvement, and there's still time for you to register. See ya there!
Look. We know that asking for help isn't always easy. We like to tell students that there's no prize for getting through college all on their own.
So if your student could benefit from additional support, encourage them to connect to Student Support and Accountability. They'll help your 'Cat navigate challenges, connect them to services, and serve as an advocate.
Yes, asking for help can be hard but the benefits far outweigh the fears. 💜

A true K-State tailgate is one of our favorite traditions!
You can experience it too, at the annual Family Weekend tailgate on September 19. Spend time with your family, meet other 'Cats, enjoy food and family friendly activities, and then take a short walk over to the Bill Snyder Family Stadium to cheer on the Wildcats.
Dr. Thomas Lane, vice president of academic success and student affairs and dean of students, gave a keynote to parents and families during today's New Student Orientation.
He spoke about the importance of getting involved on campus-and shared advice on how parents and families can support 'Cats at any stage of their college journey.
Here are some highlights 👉
-Attend Week of Welcome activities
-Be knowledgeable of campus resources (and encourage their use!)
-Take advantage of the Parents and Family Program offerings
