Technology and Aviation: 60 Years of K-State Salina
April 7-Sept. 26, 2025
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of K-State Salina, the Richard L. D. and Marjorie J. Morse Department of Archives and Special Collections at K-State Libraries has curated a special exhibit showcasing the transformation of the campus.
The “Technology and Aviation: 60 Years of K-State Salina” exhibit will highlight the evolution of the campus from 1965’s Schilling Institute to today’s Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus.
Visitors can explore highlights such as the 2005 Global Flyer quest during which Steve Fossett performed a record-setting, nonstop solo flight around the world; campus groups that helped shape K-State Salina; an unopened Tau Omicron Tau time capsule from May 1991 that was slated to open May 2001; and more.
The exhibit is on display from April 7 to Sept. 26 in the fifth-floor gallery of Hale Library. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the rich history and pioneering spirit of K-State Salina.
