MANHATTAN — Helping new students to feel welcome and part of the Kansas State University family will be the job of 43 students selected to serve in the university’s 2019-2020 orientation programs.

Morgan Kaiser, a junior in operations and supply chain management from Great Bend, has been selected as an orientation leader.

Orientation programs include Orientation and Enrollment and Wildcat Warm-up. These select individuals inform new students about resources, services, activities and facilities available at the university through large- and small-group sessions.

To prepare for summer orientation and enrollment sessions, as well as the school year ahead, the new orientation leaders participate in training sessions during the spring semester and early summer, fine-tuning their knowledge of services and resources on campus. They also develop interactive presentations for new students and learn leadership skills.
