Founders Circle 2025-2026

Dave and Lisa Rock"The lyrics to K-State’s Alma Mater clearly describe our feelings for K-State: 'I know a spot that I love full well, 'Tis not in forest nor yet in dell; Ever it holds me with magic spell, I think of thee, Alma Mater.'

"To stay engaged, informed and connected in the magic of K-State, we’ve been life members of the Alumni Association for over 40 years. We also purchased a life plan for our daughter after her graduation in 2018. We’ve connected with new K-State friends as Traveling Wildcats has taken us to fascinating places around the world. 

"It’s a joy to witness the impact our contributions to the Tradition Founders fund have. Student scholarships and recruiting, alumni events, Homecoming, Traveling Wildcats and K-Stater magazine among others are made possible. Please join us as Founders Circle members and experience the impact of your contributions in engaging, informing and connecting others to the magic of K-State.
