Civic Lecture Series - The Hidden Potential of Our Hidden Workforce

The Civic Lecture Series returns at K-State Salina for the 2025-2026 academic year, and our first discussion is an impactful one!

Kelly Mobray and Emily Ryan will lead a dialogue on "The Hidden Potential of Our Hidden Workforce." Mobray is the director of adult education at Salina Public Schools, while Ryan is the Partners 4 Success leader at the USD 305 Adult Education Center. Both bring decades of experience in adult education and its benefits to central Kansas.

This event will be at the College Center Conference Room at the K-State Salina campus, 2310 Centennial Rd. The event is designed to accommodate different schedules, so don't hesitate to come and go. Events are often held over lunchtime. Feel free to bring your own lunch or purchase one at the on-campus Centennial Dining cafeteria and enjoy eating during the presentation.

ABOUT: The Civic Luncheon Lecture Series is to develop a more tolerant and informed community committed to openly discussing topics of civic importance. By engaging our campus and the broader community in civic dialogue, we will expand our collective leadership skills for civic participation. We believe that a robust exchange of ideas is essential for informed decision-making and the development of a thriving, engaged civic culture.
