For the eighth straight year, Kansas Wesleyan University is partnering with the Marine Corps League to collect toys and financial donations for the Marine Toy Box program. Part of the partnership involves Tuesday’s basketball games versus Bethany, where anyone bringing a new, unwrapped toy can receive half-off adult admission. 

Until Dec. 9, new and unwrapped toy donations can be dropped off at the K-Dub Hub, located on the second floor of Pioneer Hall. Monetary donations can be placed in the locked container provided in that office as well.  

In addition to one of Salina’s longest-running holiday traditions—Christmas by Candlelight—Kansas Wesleyan University’s Music Department will host three additional concerts in an eight-day time span, beginning later this month. 

Kansas Wesleyan's second consecutive trip to the NAIA Football Championship Series will begin in the same location that last season's journey ended.

The 11-0 and No. 3-ranked Coyotes play Baker at noon, Saturday at Graves Family Sports Complex in the first round of the 2019 playoffs. Their three playoff games last fall were at Graves Complex as they defeated Langston (Okla.) and Dickinson State (N.D.) before losing to Benedictine in the semifinals.

Kansas Wesleyan University will host “May Our Voices Ring True,” an event with Huascar Medina, Poet Laureate of Kansas, on Dec. 2 at noon in Fitzpatrick Auditorium on campus. Members of the community are invited to attend the free program, which is available due to the support of Humanities Kansas.

The event’s noon start time allows for 30 minutes of open-mic time for the community. Guidelines on time limit and number of speakers will be enforced, after which Medina will begin his presentation. The complete event is scheduled to last until 1:30 p.m.
