    From K-State

    Kansas State men’s basketball coach Bruce Weber has been selected to receive the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Milwaukee Public Schools Foundation at their annual alumni awards dinner, which is set for Wednesday, October 2 at Discovery World in Milwaukee.

    The cocktail and appetizer hour starts at 5 p.m., CT with dinner and the program starting at 6 p.m., and 6:30 p.m., respectively at Discovery World at 500 North Harbor Drive. Tickets start at $125 and can be purchased at the MPS Foundation website at https://e.givesmart.com/events/e8C/. Those interested in attending the dinner should R.S.V.P. by Wednesday, September 18.

    Weber is a 1974 graduate of John Marshall High School in Milwaukee as well as a 1978 graduate of the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He is the fourth recipient of the MPS Lifetime Achievement Award, following former Major League Baseball Commissioner Allan “Bud” Selig (2017), Grammy Award winner Al Jarreau (2018) and Civil Rights activist and former Wisconsin Secretary of State Vel Phillips (2018).

    One of the winningest active Division I coaches with over 450 career wins and 13 NCAA Tournament appearances to his credit, Weber is set to begin his eighth season at K-State after being named the school’s 24th head men’s basketball coach on March 31, 2012. He had guided the Wildcats to 20-win seasons and NCAA Tournament appearances five times during his seven-year tenure, including consecutive 25-win campaigns the past two seasons for the first time in school history. He has also helped steer the program to a pair of Big 12 regular-season titles (2012-13, 2018-19) during his tenure, including the school’s first in 36 seasons in 2012-13.
