Every year, the Distinguished Young Alumni program recognizes two Kansas State University graduates who are excelling in their professions and contributing to their communities.

The 2023 recipients, John Grice ’12 and Kelsie Ball Salazar ’11, will be on campus March 6-8 and will be available to speak with classes and student organizations. For more information, contact Tamie Redding '86 at tredding@k-state.com.

We also invite you to attend the 2023 DYA recipients' keynote speeches. Learn more.

This program is sponsored by the K-State Alumni Association’s Student Alumni Board and the board of directors. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for event updates.
