As colder weather comes to campus, please stop by Student Development in the Hicks Student Center if you are in need of some winter outerwear. We have a limited selection of gently used winter jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, boots, etc. These are available free to students who need them. Please stop by Stu Dev (open 8a – 5p, M-F) to grab the gear you need to stay warm.

If you have extra winter clothing you would like to donate, please drop it off at Stu Dev. We are especially in need of larger sizes and men’s clothing.

Friday, November 8, 2024 is First-Generation College Celebration (FGCC) – a national day which recognizes the important role of first-generation college students in higher education. K has several events happening as part of this celebration day.

Whether you are a current (or former) first-gen college student, an advocate for first-gen college students, or simply want to learn more about this important community, these events are for you. Hope to see you there!

Happy Halloween to you and all of your emotions! Enjoy the day (or don’t, if you are just not feeling it).

Do you have extra meal swipes you won’t use? Do you need some extra help with meals?

If you answered “yes” to either question, please remember that Hungry Hornets, as part of the Basic Needs program at K, allows students to donate meal swipes they won’t use to a meal bank which is used to provide meal swipes to students who may need some help ensuring adequate nutrition. To donate or to request meals, please complete this online form.

The Hungry Hornets program also has a refrigerator stocked with “to go” meals – these meals are made fresh each day and utilize food otherwise destined for compost. These meals are designed to support students who can benefit from some help meeting daily nutrition needs and are available in the fridge in Hicks 110.

Stop by Stu Dev for some Halloween crafting this season. Drop in and paint your own pumpkin, or add your touch to the community welcome sign. Stu Dev is open 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday – Friday. Hope to see you soon!

Student Development would like to welcome the Class of 2028 along with all new transfer students and visiting international students. We also want to welcome back all Hornets returning for the 24-25 academic year.

We encourage all students to stop by the Stu Dev suite in Hicks – grab a coffee/tea/pop or a cookie, say “hi,” and check out the “We Wanna Know” question of the week. Hope you buzz by sometime soon – Go Hornets!

Just in time for the new academic year – music, movies, art, & more! Check out a great selection and take something home today to decorate your new room, apartment, house, or office.
