Schulz accepts position at Washington State University
K-State President Kirk Schulz will be leaving the Little Apple to serve as the next president of Washington State University.
“I will continue to serve as K-State president through mid-May, and will transition to Washington State in mid-June,” K-State’s 13th president announced in a K-State Today press release Friday morning.
Former K-State President Jon Wefald, who received a master’s degree at Washington State University, told the Collegian that Schulz will be a good fit at the new job.
“There are lots of challenges because the state doesn’t have any money,” Wefald said. “Kirk did a very good job here at K-State.”
The Collegian will continue to update the story as more information is released here.
