University-wide 'shred day' scheduled for October 11
Do you have years (or decades) of paper records that were once important but are currently irrelevant to the operation of the university? Do these papers contain information that shouldn't fall into the wrong hands? Then this event is for you.
The annual university-wide shred day will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. and is sponsored by Information Systems on the Polytechnic Campus and the Information Technology Assistance Center (ITAC) in Manhattan.
Bags or boxes of documents to be shredded weighing less than 25 lbs each should be delivered to the loading area between Technology Center's east & west wings from 8:30 to 11 a.m. (see map above). A completed
document disposal form is required. If you need assistance in delivering your documents to the collection point, contact Information Systems at 6-2666.
For additional information about the 2016 university shred day, click

Fly Kansas Air Tour visits the Polytechnic Campus
The 2016 Fly Kansas Air Tour included Salina as one of its stops during the three-day journey across the state, and Kansas State Polytechnic was proud to have the pilots visit the campus.
On Sept. 30, the participants of Fly Kansas were given a tour of the Stevens Flight Center and the UAS Lab. They also got a chance to fly the simulators and watched a drone demonstration in the netted pavilion.
Whitney Alexander and Kelly McDonald, both seniors and CFIs in professional pilot program, joined in on the fun for the Salina to Topeka leg of the tour.
Thank you to all of the Kansas State Polytechnic faculty, staff and students who helped make the Salina stop of the 2016 Fly Kansas Air Tour a success.
