Under the leadership of Blue Key, Quest takes a behind-the-scenes look at everything that the university has to offer. From touring the athletic facilities, enjoying lunch at the university president’s home, connecting with student leaders across campus, to giving back through service opportunities in Manhattan, Quest provides freshmen leaders with the tools necessary to give back to the Kansas State University family.

The Quest program is sponsored by ConocoPhillips. The company’s support makes it possible for students to participate in events and activities throughout the year.
