College of Business faculty settle into new home JULIA HOOD

THE COLLEGIAN

The College of Business Administration was previously located in Calvin Hall, which was constructed in 1908, but has now moved to a new space.

Construction on the new business building began in November 2014 and was recently completed in August.

Mary Carnes, junior in entrepreneurship and art, said it feels very different from Calvin Hall.

“Calvin Hall was a high school-type feel with tiny desks and chairs,” Carnes said. “This building has spread out tables and chairs so you don’t feel too close to the next person.”

Carnes said the classrooms are styled more like a boardroom meeting.

“It totally feels like a business or corporation, so it definitely fits the business feel,” Carnes said. “It took me a bit to get used to the tall ceilings and airport-feel with elevators everywhere.”

The expansion has also brought growth, according to Molly Myers, senior administrative assistant for the management department. She said the business faculty has grown from 90 to between 100-110 people because of the growth the building brought.

Myers also said that everything is a lot more spread out now.

“Kevin Gwinner, our

dean, is working hard to make sure that we don’t lose the closeness culture we’ve had as we grow and spread out in the building,” Myers said. “I have a lot more space than I did before. Our storage is spread out and we have a conference room, refrigerator and microwave for everyone to use that will help bring us together.”

Lisa Grause, program associate for the college, said the space will provide more opportunities for planning events to continue the close community between the faculty and staff.

“We’re very much spaced out here so we can go a week or so without seeing some certain people but I think our culture is very strong still,” Grause said.

“We do a lot of events with our faculty and staff and now we have space and big conference rooms to hold big meetings and keep the closeness alive.”

Grause also said the new space is good for showcasing the College of Business Administraton.

“With event planning, it’s nice to not have to go someplace else and showcase our own building,” Grause said.

“We’ve never had a classroom as big as the 250-person lecture hall so we will definitely have guest speakers come and lecture in there.”

Michael Mayo, president of Ebert Mayo Design Group which was chosen as part of the architecture team for the new business building, said all the lighting in the building uses

College dean adjusts to new role outside the classroom AUTUMN MOCK THE COLLEGIAN

W

hile he may be new to the role of dean, he is not new to Kansas State. Kevin Gwinner, dean of the College of Business Administration, has been here since 1999.

After Ali Malekzadeh, previous dean of the College of Business Administration, left in July 2015, Gwinner parted from his 10-year role as assistant marketing professor to fill the shoes as interim dean. He was officially named the dean this March.

“I thought I enjoyed the role,” Gwinner said. “I enjoyed the challenge.”

Gwinner said one of his favorite parts about becoming the dean was being able to move into the new business building as it provides unique spaces for finance, entrepreneurship and sales students.

“It really does a lot of cool things for our students, faculty and staff in terms of bringing everyone back into the same building,” Gwinner said.

Previously, half of the classes under the College of Business Administration were taught in Calvin Hall, while the rest were scattered across campus.

Gwinner said his position as dean is much different from what it was as a professor. The main role of the dean is external, envisioning and strategically planning the future of the business program as well as

dealing with various constituents such as alumni. “[The alumni] are very passionate about the college and about K-State,” Gwinner said.

A large part of the dean’s role is fundraising, to ensure that the program has the resources it needs for faculty and staff to do their jobs.

“At first I was kind of nervous about that, going and asking for money, but my role is not so much sitting in a room and asking for money,” Gwinner said. “Rather, it’s talking about our needs and our accomplishments and our vision for what we want to be and then seeing how that matches up with the interest of the donors. It’s much more of a sharing what we do rather than having to ask for money.”

Before being named dean, Gwinner was a sports marketing professor for the university.

Gwinner received the 2016 Distinguished Career Contribution to the Scientific Understanding of Sport Business Award from the American Marketing Association’s Sport and Sponsorship-Linked Marketing Special Interest Group this past summer. This is the group’s highest honor, which recognizes longtime members based on the quality of their scholarship and their willingness to mentor students.

Kristin Johnson, senior in marketing, said she introduced herself to Gwinner during her sophomore year as she aspired

to be in the sports marketing industry one day. Ever since then, Johnson said she has found their relationship as a useful tool in applying for internships and soon jobs.

“He gave me a referral to the sports marketing professor at Baylor, and the Baylor professor had a lot of references to Dallas, where I’m from,” Johnson said. “That was really helpful to get his insights on how to set myself apart because the sports marketing industry is so competitive.”

It’s these kind of relationships, as well as teaching the younger generation, that Gwinner said he misses since becoming the dean.

“The people I don’t work with as much anymore in this role is students, which is an unfortunate thing,” Gwinner said.

“I don’t teach classes currently; that’s probably the worst thing about the job because I’m not in front of students anymore because I really enjoyed teaching.”

Even though Gwinner is unable be in front of a classroom, he is still able to interact with a few students through the Dean’s Student Advisory Council. Patrick Kennedy, president of the council and senior in finance, said it’s an opportunity for students to work with the dean on making agendas and action items by providing ideas of what students want, since he always wants to the keep the students’ best interest in mind.

“He’s probably one of the

Kevin Gwinner is the new dean of the College of Business Administration as of March 2016. most selfless people,” Kennedy said. “He is always looking out

CLASSIFIEDS 785.370.6355 | kstatecollegian.com

for the students; he considers how that’s going to affect the

students almost to a point where he’s looking out for us more than we’re looking out for ourselves.”

While Gwinner has been at K-State for the past 17 years, he started out on the east coast at East Carolina University in North Carolina. But since he was from Arizona and his wife was from Colorado, he said they both wanted to move back west, closer to family.

“We had fallen in love with these small college towns because that’s where we were living, and we started looking for that type of environment,” Gwinner said.

Despite having been to Kansas only once before for a job interview at Hallmark right after coming out of his master’s program, once K-State had an opening in marketing Gwinner applied.

“K-State had a neat mission in terms of its passion for educating our students both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as our mission to expand knowledge through research,” Gwinner said.

“Those are easy to get involved with and get behind, and then the people that you get to do it with here are great people that share that same passion.”

Since coming to K-State, Gwinner and his family of four have fallen in love with the Manhattan community, he said.

“There is just really friendly, down-to-earth, genuine people,” Gwinner said.

teams scheduled to compete in the eighth Badger Invitational, which includes Big 12 foe Iowa State. The 54-hole tournament is a par 72 on the 7,259-yard University Ridge Golf Course.

The team will look to build off the success it had last season, which saw the third-best team stroke average in school history. The Wildcats return all but one golfer.

Head coach Grant Robbins enters his third season as head coach of the Wildcats. Cullen Carstens also enters his third season as assistant coach.

The team has three seniors on the roster in Connor Knabe, Matt Green and team captain Jack Rickabaugh.

Trent Evans is the lone junior of the

squad.

The team is also composed of three sophomores, which include Andrew Beckler, Roland Massimino and Jeremy Gandon. Gandon placed in a tie for fourth at last year’s Big 12 Championship, which earned him a spot on the Big 12 All-Tournament team.

After redshirting his freshman season, Ben Fernandez will compete this year. The Wildcats also have three true freshmen coming in this season, Matthieu Caron, Jacob Eklund and Levi Valadez.

After the Badger Invitational, the Wildcats will compete in the Primland Collegiate Invitational in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, Sept. 26-27.

Soccer team concludes 8-match, program-opening road trip SHELTON BURCH THE COLLEGIAN

T

he Kansas State Wildcats (2-2-2) will complete the first half of their inaugural season this weekend with two games in Arkansas.

The games will also conclude an eight-game road trip for the Wildcats, who will play their first regular season home games next weekend.

BYU VS. UTAH

RYAN REED

THE COLLEGIAN

After a thrilling first week of college football that included a double overtime shootout in Austin, a three touchdown comeback in Orlando and a massive upset by South Alabama over Mississippi State in Starkville, it’s time to get ready for this week’s matchups. Here are some of the

The Holy War is back.

The Utah Utes will be hosting the Brigham Young University Cougars Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a kickoff time of 7:30 p.m.

EST. The Utes claim an all-time 58-34-4 record against the Cougars, but the Cougars claim that the Utes only lead 55-31-4.

The reason for the difference is the Utes count six games played against Brigham Young Academy, BYU’s original name from 1875-1903, but BYU considers their first matchup to be in 1922, which BYU considers to be its inaugural season.

The Cougars come into the encounter after an 18-16 victory

over the Arizona Wildcats on a last-second field goal from kicker Jake Oldroyd last weekend in Glendale. Most of the Cougars’ yards on offense came from running back Jamaal Williams, who logged 29 carries and rushed for 162 yards. The BYU defense is also a force to be reckoned with.

After questions were being asked about BYU’s switch to a 4-3 defense, the Cougars responded to the critics by sacking Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon four times and had eight tackles for a loss.

The Utes head into the matchup after a 24-0 victory over Southern Utah. Despite not winning by the margin that the Utes were hoping for, there were still some positives to take away. Quarterback Troy Williams threw for 272 yards

(4-2-0).

The Sugar Bears enter tonight’s game having blazed a path of fire through the state of Arkansas this fall. They are 3-1 in their home state, with their only loss coming at home against the University of Tulsa on Aug. 26.

They have won their last three since that loss, outscoring opponents 6-0.

The Sugar Bears are largely a first-half team offensively. This season, they have outscored opponents 7-1 in the first half, but are only 2-4 against opponents in the second half.

They have gotten more shots in the second half than in the first however, 39-38 respectively.

For whatever reason, they don’t score as well in the second half, which happens to be when the Wildcats score the most, meaning tonight’s game will likely be hard-fought despite the Sugar Bears’ better record entering the game.

In second halves this season, the Wildcats have scored six of their nine total goals.

They have also outshot themand two touchdowns. Plus, the Utah defense stuffed Southern Utah to only 158 offensive yards.

Safety Marcus Williams recorded a forced fumbled, a fumble recovery and an interception. Look forward to a heated battle in Salt Lake City.

VIRGINIA TECH VS. NO. 17 TENNESSEE

This game could be really interesting, especially when you

h

selves in the second halves of games compared to the first, achieving 37 shots in second halves versus 17 in first halves.

The Wildcats are also entering hot, coming back from being down 0-1 against Creighton University on Sept.

2 to earn a draw and winning 1-0 against the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

Tonight’s game is scheduled for 6 p.m.

SUNDAY AT LITTLE ROCK

After that, K-State takes on the University of Little Rock Trojans (3-3-0) in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Trojans lost 0-1 to No. 14 Texas A&M on Sept.

2 after winning the three games prior. Before then, the Trojans most recent loss was a 0-1 loss against Central Arkansas.

The Trojans have statistically had a pretty balanced offense this season, outscoring opponents 4-1 in first halves and 6-5 in second halves.

The defense has been less than stellar in second halves this season. Not only have take the venue into consideration.

Already labeled as “The Battle at Bristol,” this game will be taking place at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee.

The current record for attendance at a college football game is 115,109, which was set back in 2013 when Michigan hosted Notre Dame at the “Big House.”

This matchup is expected to attract more than 150,000 people.

The Tennessee Volunteers

the Trojans allowed five times the goals in second halves, they’ve also allowed 14 more shots. This could play right into the Wildcats’ hands since the Wildcats have earned 20 more shots in second halves of games compared to their first halves.

Junior goalkeeper Miranda Larkin is scheduled to start in net for the Wildcats and continues to protect the net.

In her four starts this season, Larkin has only allowed one goal on 56 shots, giving her a .955 save percentage, which ranks her 10th in the NCAA. No other goalkeeper among independents, which K-State soccer is this year, or among Big 12 schools, which the Wildcats will enter next season, is ranked above her in the category.

Her three shutouts in four games, including a five-save performance Sunday against the University of Nebraska at Omaha, ranks her tied for 11th in the NCAA in shutouts this season.

The game against the Trojans is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday. enter this matchup with a series lead against the Hokies of 5-3-0.

The Volunteers suffered a scare last weekend, as underdog Appalachian State managed to scrape its way into overtime, only losing 20-13. Senior quarterback Joshua Dobbs will be looking to provide better decision-making this week after his struggles against the Appalachian State pass rush. see page

SGA questions Title IX coordinator about university’s compliance JASON TIDD

THE COLLEGIAN

Student senators did not hold back in questioning Kansas State’s Title IX coordinator at the Student Governing Association meeting Thursday.

One senator asked if the university is fully compliant with Title IX, which was called for in a resolution passed by SGA last spring.

“Everything that we do is

going to be in compliance with the law — and the law, as it’s stated, we are fully complaint with the law,” Travis Gill, Title IX coordinator and director of the Office of Institutional Equity, said.

Another senator asked if the university was compliant with the “Dear Colleague” letters from the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Education, which advise universities to investigate off-campus sexual assault, including at greek houses.

Gill said the university’s policy was drafted off the “Dear Colleague” letters that were around when the policy was written, but more letters have been written since then. Gill has only been at K-State for about a year.

“The intent of the policy absolutely complies and follows the ‘Dear Colleague’ letter, it’s just the guidance has been ever-shifting over the years,” Gill said.

When asked by a senator, Gill compared K-State’s sexual

assault policies with those of other universities.

Gill said most universities have a student code of conduct that has jurisdiction everywhere.

That allows the universities to consider sexual assault, regardless of where it occurred, as a student conduct issue.

“Kansas State University’s code of conduct doesn’t branch out beyond campus, so that’s one of the core reasons that we can’t go from that vantage point and say, ‘Hey, this is a student con-

duct issue,’ which is the way that most of these universities have been treating it,” Gill said.

Those student codes of conduct usually prohibit sexual assault, Gill said. K-State’s does not specifically prohibit sexual assault.

He said the university does not have the legal authority to investigate allegations of sexual assault the same way as law enforcement does.

“Unlike our Kansas State University Police Department

or the Riley County Police Department, we are not able to do DNA swabs or gather evidence or sheets or really do that type of work,” Gill said. “It’s frustrating to us because it would make our evaluation of those cases so much easier, but because we’re not a police entity, the law does not really provide those permissions for us.”

Netflix Originals Review: The Fundamentals of Caring

EMILY MOORE THE COLLEGIAN

HHHHI As a Netflix original movie with Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez, I had to watch “The Fundamentals of Caring.” While the basic movie idea is one that has been done many times before — a person begins as a caregiver for someone disabled and they end up developing an extraordinarily deep relationship — this was the first time I have seen this type of movie done in a way that lines up with pop culture. By that, I mean they used prominent actors and actresses and the concepts and humor can be appreciated by all generations.

That being said, the

movie wasn’t the most appropriate for children, but my point is that it was not too deep for any one age group to understand. That made it interesting as far as caregiver movies seem to go.

In many movies focused on caregiving, the one disabled is often older and provides wisdom to the younger or similar-aged caregiver or family member. This movie flipped those roles entirely.

By the end, it is very clear the two characters have gained something from each other.

In fact, I would say the movie’s ideas in general were different modifications of a stereotype. Spoiler: For example, it was not just a road trip that the two decided to go on, it was one to see all of the side road trip stops that are generally, as stated, a side stop, but became a destination.

Also, it was distinctive that they decided to pick up hitchhikers along the way; in fact, it added several possibilities to the plot, making it less and less predictable.

The movie promoted a sense of motivation and provided a very current

attitude that those who are disabled can do anything that anyone else can do. The ironic part of this movie was that it was the boy who was disabled who was so hesitant to do anything differently, rather than being held back by another character.

Despite that, this “can do” attitude emerges and promotes an incredible positivity that helps to balance out the other darker issues touched on within the plot.

It is particularly relevant when Rudd’s character threatens to call a local news source when a particular location has no handicapped access to an exhibit. This could easily be a real scenario in today’s society.

Overall, the movie spun caregiving plots on their heads. While it seemed to hold a very indie movie quality, it reached far beyond just an audience that can appreciate independent films. It was in touch with society, flowed well with pop culture and was overall a very lighthearted and humorous movie that managed to tastefully capture both the simplicity and oddities of life.

WATCH | Razorbacks take on No. 15 Horned Frogs continued from page

6

Junior running back Jalen Hurd will be anticipating a good day after his 110 yards on the ground against Appalachian State, along with the game-winning fumble recovery in the end zone.

The Virginia Tech Hokies had an ugly win themselves last weekend as they toppled the Liberty Flames 36-13. Though on paper the scoreline doesn’t look bad, the Hokies lost four fumbles to the FCS competition and only led 17-13 with 24 seconds left in the second quarter. New head coach Justin Fuente will be looking to quiet the critics as this

is his first real test since taking over in Blacksburg, Virginia after Frank Beamer, Hokies coach of 29 seasons, retired.

ARKANSAS VS. NO. 15 TCU

Despite the scary No. 15 ranking that TCU has attached to its name this week, Arkansas should have a feeling heading into Fort Worth that maybe it can pull this one off. Neither of these two sides looked convincing in their first week victories. The Arkansas Razorbacks hold a 4323-2 series lead over the Horned Frogs but the last time these two played was all the way back in 1991, when Arkansas just edged

out TCU 22-21.

The Horned Frogs are looking to improve on last week’s performance because despite winning 59-41, giving up 461 yards and 41 points to the South Dakota State Jackrabbits is outright terrible. Replacing last year’s phenom Trevone Boykin, quarterback Kenny Hill wants to continue his form from last week.

Though he didn’t start too well, he finished the game with 439 yards in the air and two passing touchdowns, along with three rushing scores.

The Razorbacks narrowly edged Louisiana Tech last week, 21-20. Keon Hatcher was huge for Arkansas with his 12.7 yards

per target and 85 percent success rate, finishing with six catches for 89 yards on seven attempts. However, if Arkansas wants to win this game, it needs to revive its running game. Rawleigh Williams III led the Razorbacks, producing only 96 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries with an average of 4 yards per carry. With that being said, the Arkansas defense should be hitting the Horned Frogs’ offensive line hard. Anticipate a close one in Waco. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. EST. Ryan Reed is an sophomore in mass communications.
