It is an opportunity to formally welcome our first-year students to Kansas State University and provide an introduction to our campus. You will be greeted by and hear stories from current students, alumni, and key stakeholders of the university who share a collective voice of a community that cares for and is focused on our students' success.

Be sure to stay after Convocation for the Pep Rally! Hear from our coaches, meet some of the players, and learn all about and engage with our Athletics traditions.
