Register today! We invite all first-year and first-time-on-campus students at Kansas State University to the fifth annual Wildcat Dialogues, an intercultural learning experience facilitated by students, faculty and staff conversation guides. Wildcat Dialogues introduces first-year and first-time-on-campus students to tools that ease engagement in in meaningful conversations across differences, which help to create communities of belonging at K-State.
The 2022 Wildcat Dialogues will take place 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, at the K-State Student Union. Registration is due by Wednesday, Oct. 26. Virtual sessions are also available; see registration form for details.
During Wildcat Dialogues, students will:
- Learn the importance and the art of engaging in meaningful dialogues
- Learn tools to engage in dialogue about our cultural similarities and differences
- Strategize and act to create a community of belonging at K-State
Each year, K-State has gathered more than 1,000 new students to engage in meaningful conversations that elevate intercultural learning and development of the K-State community.
Why should students attend?
- To gain understanding of student experiences unlike their own

- To contribute to a community of belonging at K-State
This event is coordinated in partnership between the Staley School of Leadership, Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs, K-State First, and the K-State Student Union, alongside a large committee representing students, faculty and staff. This collaboration represents the commitment by our campus community to create a culture of belonging for all.
