Donate to Salina Area United Way and be entered in campus drawing
The Salina Area United Way’s philosophy is to fight for health, education, and financial stability. K-State Polytechnic supports United Way and the employees who donate. For 2019-2020, the campus has a goal of raising $2,500 for the United Way and is accepting donations until Dec. 20. Any employee who gives, no matter the amount, will be entered into a drawing and could win either eight hours off with pay from K-State Polytechnic; a K-State Café punch card worth 10 free lunches from Aladdin; or an office lunch party of up to 20 individuals from Aladdin. The drawing will be Jan. 3. For more information on this cause, click

. If everyone on campus gave at least $13, we will meet our goal.

New parking guidelines for campus's Circle Drive
To welcome visitors and facilitate grounds keeping, the parking stalls located in the Circle Drive are now designated as 45-minute visitor parking spots with no overnight parking between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. This extends hospitality to those who might not be as familiar with our campus and assists the facilities crew with space to properly maintain our grounds and parking lots, especially when clearing snow during the winter months. Free and convenient parking for students and faculty/staff is still available in the nearby lots between the College Center and Student Life Center or behind the residence halls.
