K-State Strengths for Students Conference
11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Friday, March 22
Leadership Studies Building

Do you want to learn how you can leverage your top five CliftonStrengths toward academic and personal success? Are you interested in creating a strengths-based culture within your student organization, residence hall, or fraternity or sorority?

Are you curious as to how you might increase your own engagement and well-being? Or better yet, how to increase the engagement and well-being within your student organization?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the K-State Strengths for Students Conference is for you. Register here by Feb. 23.

K-State Wildcats will have the opportunity to engage with students from other colleges and universities across the Midwest to develop their strengths. Participants will gain strategies for integrating strengths into their student organizations, increase their capacity to exercise leadership and ultimately help campus communities thrive.

We are excited to engage with students in organizations university-wide through personalized peer coaching, powerful storytelling, and collaborative conversations about the 34 CliftonStrengths for students themes.

We encourage all K-State students to identify their Top 5 Strengths prior to the conference. Request a free CliftonStrengths assessment code at the K-State Strengths website by clicking on the Strengths Assessment box, completing the short form, and then checking your email for a link to take the assessment. Students who have already taken their strengths assessment can review their results at ksu.my.gallup.com.

Register here by Feb. 23, to apply your “Top 5 and Thrive” at the K-State Strengths for Students Conference! Space is limited to the first 200 students who register. The cost is $10 per student, which includes all conference materials and lunch. Visit our website for more details and the agenda.

All the best,

Mike Finnegan, director, K-State Strengths

Katie Buhler, graduate assistant for K-State Strengths

Do you want to help build our K-State community? If so, sign up for ’Cats Connect – a new program at Kansas State University designed to build community through conversation.

‘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.

Students, faculty, and staff are all invited to participate. Groups will be built based on shared experiences and availability. Participants can select in-person (on the Manhattan campus) or virtual meetings (via Zoom).

The spring 2024 second session will meet weekly beginning the week of March 25 through the week of April 29.
