on Friday, Oct. 6, high school students outnumbered university students in the K-State Student Union. Clutching their purple and orange information folders, the prospective students learned about the university at the College Success Seminar. The seminar, K-State ' s way of educating high school students about the university, was open to all high school juniors and seniors. We want students to l now that K-State cares and that we ' re committed to academic success, Pat Bosco, dean of student life, said. Second, we want to give them, as high school juniors and seniors, the necessary tools to finish strong with one or two years left in high school and to make it significant and special to help them become great K-Staters. Sessions and workshops emphasized the diversity on campus and variety of clubs and organizations available, as well as the academic colleges. Kari Nap, admissions representative, coordinated the College Success Seminar. I want students to know that no matter what their background is or how hard of a life they ' ve had, they can be successful at K- State, Nap said. There are a lot of groups and organizations that will help them out. In addition to campus and residence hall tours, the seminar included events offering students advice for becoming a leader, and getting jobs and internships. Students weren ' t the only ones who benefited from the seminars. Parents, whose students would enter college within a few years, also attended sessions to learn more about the campus We try to make these days fun and beneficial for parents and students, and that ' s why we have so much going on all in one day, Tamara Bowles, admission representative, said. We encourage parents and students to go to as many events as they can, The admission representatives also organized six Senior Days, two Just for Junior days — one in Salina and one in Manhattan — and four Junior Days in the spring. Students from across Kansas and other states came to Manhattan to learn about K-State. High school students looked at a variety of colleges and universities before choosing one. I think the most important thing about these days is just getting the general view of K-State, and that ' s why we do it on busy days, Bowles said. We like people to see the purple pride and just get a feel for the campus and what it has to offer. Seminar emphasizes K-State ' s strengths with campus tours, greek exploration and sessions for individual needs. by Kyle Martinek Students and parents look at information they received at the beginning of the day. We put a lot of information on what ' s going on that day and stuff all about K-State, Kari Nap, admissions representative, said. The day featured events and seminars showing K-State ' s pride.
