Experiences EXTRAORDINARY

At Kansas Wesleyan University, out-of-the-classroom experiences enhance learning, expand networks and enrich the lives of our students. Here our students share a brief snippet about an extraordinary experience from the fall.

“ It’s very exciting for me to be on stage playing with the Salina Symphony. And this spring, I get to play with the KWU Orchestra at the Kansas Music Educators Association Conference. Being a musician at KWU opens up awesome opportunities.” Thomas Forrester, senior, Salina, KS

“My first Thanksgiving in the U.S. was fantastic! It was surreal experiencing my first American holiday and NFL game all in the same day.” James Davies, freshman, UK “Another great day on the farm learning about planting techniques, chemical-free pest control and determining the proper time for harvest. Love watching the baby watermelons grow! I’m helping to build a trailer to transport food scraps from Shriwise Dining Hall back to the farm to use as compost.“ Diego Sanchez, senior, Shawnee Mission, KS “ Loved every minute of being in the classroom at Southeast of Saline this fall! The KWU Teacher Education department taught through example the importance of building relationships with your students.” Luke Curry, senior, Salina, KS
