Kansas State and Fort Riley top officials renewed their seven-years-and-counting university-to-military community partnership Thursday evening at a ceremony held at the Kansas State Alumni Center on the Kansas State University campus. Signing the partnership was Kansas State University President Kirk Schulz and Fort Riley’s Maj. Gen. Wayne Grigsby. This is the fifth partnership renewal between Kansas State and Fort Riley dating back to April 2008 when then Kansas State University President Jon Wefald and former 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley commanding general Maj. Gen. Robert E. Durbin established a formal institutional partnership between Kansas State University and the 1st Infantry Division at Fort Riley. The partnership is the first and only comprehensive partnership of this nature.
