Service activities will mark Kansas Day for students at seven colleges in the state, the Kansas Campus Compact has announced. The projects are part of KsCC’s “Commemorate Kansas/Serve Kansas” program.

“These creative projects are an indication that students and faculty at Kansas colleges and universities are aware of the importance of connecting their education with civic purpose that serves all of Kansas’ citizens,” Matthew Lindsey, KsCC executive director, said.

A first-rate education, includes civic responsibility as well as academic preparation.... With the right programs in place, our schools can provide a wonderful opportunity for students to come together and learn the skills that will keep our democracy strong."
