uggling school and work. Paying for tuition, books, housing, food and other necessities. Participating in career-building activities. These pressures, and more, weigh on college students. Charlie ’90 and Debbie Morrison remember well the stresses and pressures they felt as undergraduates at Kansas State University. Now successful alumni, they have given $10.2 million to K-State to invest in a variety of student well-being initiatives. Having received this transformational gift in spring 2021, K-State has started putting those funds to use, and an impact is already beginning to be felt across campus.
