Donation Challenge
Kansas State University students all know a spot that they love full well. For agricultural economics students that spot is Waters Hall.
Dr. Arlo Biere, Faculty Emeritus, pledged money to create the Biere Undergraduate Student Center that is welcoming for students, future students, and their families. He saw the need to move the Agricultural Economics Department forward with improved facilities and other updates. He has challenged those who’ve benefited from their time in the department, whether as students or faculty, to contribute.
There are various opportunities to give depending on your interest:
- faculty endowments
- graduate scholarships
- facility improvements
- undergraduate scholarships
Dr. Biere chose to contribute to facility improvements, because his passion has always been for undergraduate students, and he wants to create a space that is modern and inviting.
Contact Dr. Allen Featherstone, (afeather@ksu.edu or 785-532-6702) Agricultural Economics Department Head, if you would like to visit about Departmental needs.
