In the interest of social distancing and crowd reduction, Kansas Wesleyan has asked its students to sign up for an arrival time slot on move-in days, which are scheduled for August 5 and 7. The office of Student Development released the links to make that possible on Wednesday morning. 

New students, those targeting an August 5 arrival, should sign up for a time slot at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/NewKWUStudents. 

The show must go on.

Truer words may never have been spoken for a handful of Kansas Wesleyan students, who, after a lengthy time away from the stage, will return when A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder premiers Thursday, July 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Salina Community Theatre (SCT). 

Kansas Wesleyan will be the location for a special public forum held by the Salina Police Department on Monday, June 29 at 6 p.m. in Sams Chapel. The event is free, and once again, is open to the public. The topic will be local law enforcement and community and race relations. Mayor Mike Hoppock, Vice-Mayor Melissa Hodges and Commissioners Dr. Trent Davis, Karl Ryan and Rod Franz will join City Manager Mike Schrage and Police Chief Brad Nelson as part of the evening's panel. Chief Nelson will give a brief presentation. 

Kansas Wesleyan is taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint, even in the midst of a global pandemic. 

KWU has begun a project alongside Energy Solutions Professionals (ESP), a Kansas City firm, to make campus-wide improvements that will both help the environment and save utility and operating costs in the long-term. The project will reduce the campus’s carbon footprint by 3.3 million pounds of CO₂e annually, which is equivalent to the electric use of 250 homes each year.
