K-State Alumni Association unveils new strategic plan to aid in the success of Next-Gen K-State
For 150 years the K-State Alumni Association has been a strong advocate for the university with a mission to reach, connect and serve its constituents. Today, the Alumni Association is K-State’s No. 1 advocate, the keepers of tradition, and the conduit that brings all K-Staters together.
The Association’s board of directors now present: Then. Now. Forever., the Association’s strategic plan for 2025-2030.
“After celebrating 150 years, we are excited to launch a new vision and strategic plan to transform, support and enhance K-State’s overall vision of a next-generation land-grant university,” said Adam Walker ’04, ’09, Alumni Association president and CEO. “The Alumni Association will continue our mission to reach, connect and serve all members of the K-State community. These priorities will shape and enhance our ability to excel and elevate the K-State experience for all.”
The strategic plan is designed to focus on three specific areas:
- Connection with alumni and friends
- Creating opportunities that reach, connect and serve students and campus partners
- Enhancing revenue and resources to support the Alumni Association
Goals within these three areas include: plans to modernize the K-State Alumni Center, which are already underway; continue to be a valued partner to the university, K-State Athletics and the KSU Foundation; champion the independent voice of K-Staters everywhere; provide quality and meaningful events and engagement for the K-State community; and, of course, bring the fun to elevate the K-State experience.
Additionally, the Association has unveiled a new mission statement: “We reach, connect and serve all members of our K-State community.”
By design, achievement of these goals will further assist in the achievement of the goals for Next-Gen K-State, the university’s strategic plan which aims to make K-State a next-generation land-grant institution.
“The board of directors is excited to share the updated strategic plan with members of the K-State Alumni Association,” said Chancy Montera Love ’07, chair of the Alumni Association’s board of directors. “This allows the Association to continue our history of supporting the K-State Community while positioning us to serve our members, K-Staters and the state of Kansas well into the future. We look forward to continuing to support the university’s efforts in fulfilling their land-grant mission.”
