Collaboration is already happening at the Military Affiliated Resource Center (MARC)! It's been great to see students putting the new whiteboards to good use.

If you're a K-State Salina student who is a veteran, currently serving, or affiliated with a member of the military, we encourage you to stop by the MARC and take advantage of the resources available to you. Whether you need a quiet place to study, a space to collaborate, or support on your academic journey, the MARC is here for you. We look forward to seeing you! 💜
