Donate to Cats' Corner and staff member will match dollar-for-dollar
Cats' Corner, a place on campus where students can access free non-perishable food, hygiene items and professional clothing for interviews and presentations, has received more than 50 visits since the start of the fall semester. This number demonstrates the need for a facility like Cats' Corner at K-State Polytechnic and now a staff member has come forward to match cash contributions to the space dollar-for-dollar, up to $500. Cash donations ensure the most needed and popular products get purchased. Give your donations to Julie Rowe, student activities and career services coordinator, by Sept. 14 in order for them to be counted for the matching process.

Designed as an interactive potty training device, the Whizz Bang prototype has now been perfected and will be featured on crowdfunding site Indiegogo starting Sept. 5 to help with production.
