Don't You Wish You Went to Kansas State?

While reading Michael Wesch's blog this morning (the bomb professor who made the "A Vision of Students Today" video), he talked about the K-State Proud in a post. Some students at Kansas State documented their "Flash Mob of Kindness" in video form and Dr. Wesch shared it on his blog. The video is a good example of what a few hundred bucks, some good ideas and a little bit of free time can result in. Take a look:

The Kansas State Proud is an organization that's raised over $250,000 from students for other struggling students. (That is nuts!) I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this organization in the future.

What did you think of the video? Let us know in the comments!

The people in the bookstore can't believe what just happened! I probably would be just as shocked if it were me though. Great vid. Its a cool reminder to be a little less serious and a little more spontaneous and generous.

Great post guys! Very heartwarming video, and a great reminder that we all need a little help sometimes. I wish there was a group like this in every city and on every campus!

Wonderful, I love it. How should you organize this on your own university? Should be fantastic!

You guys are amazing! My husband and I are alums and we've had 3 daughters attend KSU. We've always been proud of our alma mater, but this brings Pride to a new level. God Bless you all.
