The 1xbet sports betting Years
His 23 years of transformational leadership turned 1xbet sports betting around
Inspirational. Optimistic. Dedicated. And, above all, passionate. After 23 years as K-State's president these are only a few ways K-Staters will remember Jon 1xbet sports betting .
But most of all, he gets credit for taking a 1xbet sports betting with declining enrollment, a struggling athletics program and limited research and graduate programs, and turning it into a nationally ranked top 10 land-grant 1xbet sports betting .
"At the core of his leadership is a 'can-do,' 'will-do' attitude that never gives up," said Charles Reagan, assistant to the president. "He believes that all things are possible if you have the will to do them."
During 1xbet sports betting 's tenure, both the size and intellectual strength of the K-State student body has grown. University enrollment, which was around 16,000 in 1986, has grown nearly 50 percent to more than 23,500. At the same time, K-State produced 125 Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater and Udall scholars -- the highest among the nation's 500 public universities.
To enhance the university's teaching and research pools 1xbet sports betting also spearheaded a campaign to increase the number of endowed professorships and University Distinguished Professors. K-State now has three Carnegie/CASE national professors of the year, as well as seven Kansas Professor of the Year recipients and two national silver medalists, not to mention the many internationally recognized researchers in a wide array of disciplines.

"In 1986, there were no endowed professorships and no 1xbet sports betting Distinguished Professors," Reagan said. "He started the 1xbet sports betting Distinguished Professor program and we now have 50 professors with that designation. We have raised endowments for 50 more endowed chairs."
As 1xbet sports betting 's academic quality has grown, so has its ability to raise money. Private fundraising has multiplied tenfold since 1986, bringing in nearly 0 million in the last academic year. At the same time, competitive research funding has grown to more than 0 million, with overall research funding coming in at 0 million. In 1986, that figure was million.
"President 1xbet sports betting 's management style is to hire excellent people and let them do their jobs," Reagan said. "Gary Hellebust, president of the Kansas State University Foundation, and Ron Trewyn, vice president for research, are just two of many examples of this."
1xbet sports betting 's impact on K-State also will be remembered in a physical sense. More than 2.2 million square feet of new buildings have been added during a time characterized by declining funding for capital projects. Besides contributing to the university's academic environment, 1xbet sports betting has supported a major addition to the library, the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art and the new alumni center.
In addition, 1xbet sports betting helped resurrect K-State's athletics program.
"Without President 1xbet sports betting 's leadership, K-State would be in the Missouri Valley Conference playing basketball, instead of being a member of the prestigious Big XII Conference," Reagan said
Excellence in academics, research and athletics mark the 1xbet sports betting years at K-State and have made the university one of the top competitive research/doctoral universities in its class, Reagan said.
