January 10 KLL Memorial Scholarship: The KLL Memorial Scholarship Foundation was established in loving memory of Kelly Lynn Lutz who lost a 9 year battle to breast cancer in May 2008. Kelly was a teacher so education was very important to her. Kelly’s family and friends created a permanent endowment that will provide qualified recipients with a $2,000 annual scholarship at the secondary school of their choice, renewable for up to 4 years. What makes this scholarship unique is that it is geared toward students who have lost a parent to cancer. The financial and emotional toll that cancer inflicts on these families can never be fully resolved but hopefully a scholarship such as this will give deserving students the opportunity and hope to keep chasing their dreams of a college degree. The recipient will be chosen in early March. If you have any questions please visit our website or email us at info@kllscholarshipfund.com.

Wichita State University Major Exploration Day: The WSU Office of Admissions is partnering with the Career Development Center to host a workshop for students who don’t have a confident answer to the question all those people are asking, “What are you going to major in?” If you no idea or are still deciding between a few, Major Exploration Day will help you find some direction. The event kicks off with speaker Daniel Seddiqui, author of 50 Jobs in 50 States. He will talk about his experience of graduating college without any idea what to do and share what he learned. Next, you will work with the Career Development staff and complete an aptitude test to help you find your strengths and match those to possible majors and careers. The rest of the day will be filled with lunch, time with alums, current students, faculty and staff to answer any questions you have about your areas of interest. The cost for the event is $15.
