I decided to attend KSU because I received a tour by a Student Ambassador. I was impressed by the students’ knowledge of the school’s history. After my tour I knew that K-State was the college for me. I loved my experience so much that I developed a passion for informing prospective students about KSU, so I too became a Student Ambassador. I feel that I am a good representation of what a successful male at Kentucky State University should be due to my academic success and community outreach through various organizations. This would not have occurred if I did not attend K-State. Welcome future Thorobreds!
