Fort Hays State University President Tisa Mason’s annual Tour of Kansas kicks off on Wednesday, November 1st.  The President’s Tour of Kansas is an annual tradition at Fort Hays State that began in 1987.  President Mason plans to visit the North Central Kansas Technical College campus in Beloit on November 1st.

President Mason plans to discuss several key university initiatives that are making a difference in Kansas during this year’s tour, including: 

• FHSU, North Central Kansas Technical College, and Northwest Kansas Technical College’s Strategic Affiliation Plan to better serve the students, businesses, and communities of rural Kansas
• New ventures and university academic programs that are making a difference in our state, including FHSU’s Cybersecurity Institute and Technology Incubator, the K-State 105 initiative-funded expansion of FHSU-led Kansas Small Business Development Center services in Northwest Kansas, and federal grant-funded growth in nursing and teacher education programs for rural Kansas 
• The university’s key legislative funding requests including the creation of alternative credentials for professional development, a telehealth certification for mental health providers, and nursing workforce development in Western Kansas.  

As always, President Mason will also share stories and evidence that demonstrate the unmatched combination of affordability, accessibility, and quality that makes FHSU the best value in education anywhere.
