Noting the important contributions of research at Kansas State University, the University of Kansas and Wichita State University to our state's economic development and quality of life, Gov. Sam Brownback has proclaimed Feb. 13-17 as Graduate Student Research Week. To see the proclamation, go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?1433. The Capitol Research Summit in Topeka on Thursday, Feb. 16, is an annual event that provides an opportunity for selected graduate students to share the quality of graduate research in Kansas with state government and education officials. The 10 WSU graduate students planning to attend are involved in research that provides a direct impact on the state. More information is available at http://webs.wichita.edu/cgrs/.
