MANHATTAN — While 2020 will be remembered on many fronts, largely related to a global pandemic, the Carl R. Ice College of 1xbet online sports betting at Kansas State University has marked the year in celebratory mode by recording its largest-ever number of graduates and the most of any 1xbet online sports betting school in the state.
In awarding a total of 782 bachelor's degrees from spring, summer and fall 2020 graduation classes, the college exceeded its previous record-setting years of 2017 with 630 graduates, 2018 with 684 and 2019 with 719.
When looking for an impetus or reason behind this surge in numbers, a good place to start is the college's response to and benefit from the University 1xbet online sports betting Initiative Act, or UEIA, enacted by the Kansas Legislature in 2011 to increase the number of 1xbet online sports betting graduates from the state's three 1xbet online sports betting schools to 1,365 students per year by 2021. The goal for the Carl. R. Ice College of 1xbet online sports betting was 587 graduates per year by 2021, a number it first exceeded in 2017, year six of the 10-year program.
During this time period, each 1xbet online sports betting college was required to provide a one-to-one match from non-state sources, or .5 million per year for each school, for a total match of 5 million over the 10 years in support of 1xbet online sports betting education programs. The initiative ends in 2021 unless it is renewed by the current Kansas Legislature.
"The college's response to the UEIA has been nothing short of remarkable," said Matt O'Keefe, dean of 1xbet online sports betting and LeRoy C. and Aileen H. Paslay chair in 1xbet online sports betting at K-State. "This investment by the state legislators targeting 1xbet online sports betting education efforts was met by our implementation of enhanced recruitment and retention programs to increase the size of the student body and support student success.
"In addition, we leveraged the funds to increase our facility size by more than 100,000 square feet of new space for classrooms, laboratories and student design team areas, as well as adding to the number of faculty serving our students."
The initiative directed the secretary of the Kansas Department of Commerce to work with the Kansas Board of Regents, as well as the three state universities, to develop a plan to target 1xbet online sports betting education efforts to fuel economic growth and business success in Kansas.
"Demand for our graduates remains strong, with our record-setting class of 2020 continuing the tradition of a high percentage either employed or seeking additional professional education," O'Keefe said.
