Are you looking for a way to meet and connect with other K-Staters this summer? Do you want to help build our K-State community? If so, sign up for ’Cats Connect – a program at Kansas State University designed to build community through conversation.
We are excited to bring ‘Cats Connect Summer Edition to faculty and staff during summer 2024. If you are a student who wants to participate, fill out the registration form and we will see if there is enough interest to form a student group. If not, there will be more student sessions during the fall semester.
‘Cats Connect is a peer-to-peer facilitated program designed to help groups of 4-6 Wildcats meet and develop friendships outside of their regular social circles. Groups meet for one hour for five consecutive weeks. During each meeting, everyone will have the opportunity to respond to a series of fun and thought-provoking questions and engage in a small connection project.
Groups will be built based on availability. Participants will select their preference of general days and times when they register. Once registration closes, a Doodle Poll will be sent out to select specific days and times.
If you are interested in participating, complete the Summer Edition ‘Cats Connect registration by Tuesday, May 28.
The Morrison Family Center for Student Well-being and the Staley School of Leadership teamed up to bring ‘Cats Connect to the K-State community. If you have any additional questions please reach out to Austin Drake at adrake329@ksu.edu.
Here is what some Wildcats said after participating in ’Cats Connect:
- “‘Cats Connect is a small group so it’s not just you being completely exposed to a bunch of new people, just a small group of people.“
- “It was really good to meet people with different majors and different backgrounds and branch out of my normal group.”
- “I gained new confidence in talking with new people – and, it was a lot of fun!”
- “Meeting people with varying personalities who are going through similar situations that I am in was really reassuring and helped me feel more connected to K-State.”
