About

Kansas State University has always been proud of its land-grant heritage. Whether by welcoming students to its campus or taking university expertise to people across the state, K-State has taken seriously its mandate to make the resources of the university open & accessible to all Kansans. That is why we are excited to welcome you to the Center for Engagement and Community Development (CECD). CECD will extend & expand K-State’s historic mission of engagement & outreach. CECD is a place where university faculty & community leaders can come together to address community challenges, meet community needs, & realize community dreams through effective scholarship-based engagement. In this process, we plan to help make Kansas State University one of the truly premier land-grant universities.
