100 Years Strong
Celebrating 100 years of living on K-State's Manhattan campus
Join us on Saturday, October 24, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Van Zile Hall's opening and 100 years of community and friendship.
For a century, K-State's residence halls have meant more to students than just a place to live. They have been cherished places where friendships blossomed, traditions took root and lifelong memories were formed.
