Kansas State University maintains one of the most prestigious lecture series in American colleges and universities: the Alfred M. Landon Lecture Series on Public Issues. Inaugurated in 1966 by former K-State President James A. McCain, the series is a tribute to the late Alfred M. Landon, who, for many years, was Kansas’ most distinguished political leader. Three to five of the country’s leading personalities appear on the Landon Lecture platform each academic year. Speakers who come to Kansas State University to honor Governor Landon with their appearance are drawn from the public arena of world-renowned politicians, journalists, cabinet members, and other prominent figures involved in current public issues. Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush have delivered Landon lectures. The lectures, given on the K-State campus, are attended by K-State students, faculty, and alumni, as well as the general public. Along with each lecture, Landon patrons will be invited to attend an exclusive informal session with the speaker.

you Thank You to Our Grant Partners Through the generosity and recommendation of the Goldstein Community Fund of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation, a donor-advised fund, McCain Auditorium was the recent recipient of a multi-year grant in the amount of $250,000 to fund several deferred maintenance projects. This grant will be combined with additional monies from Kansas State University and the Friends of McCain Auditorium to replace the stage floor, lighting control system and the overhead speakers.
McCain Auditorium and Kansas State University are tremendously grateful for the support of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation. The McCain Performance Series is grateful for the support of the Student Governing Association for providing funding from the Fine Arts Privilege Fee to make 50% discounts possible for all students of Kansas State University.
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation has also awarded McCain Auditorium a grant in the amount of $5,000 to help fund our free student matinee performances for the 2014-2015 season.

Check our website at k-state. edu/mccain for details.
Immediately following certain McCain Performance Series events, audience members are invited to remain in the theater to participate in an informal, moderated dialogue and question-and-answer session with the artists. Check our website at k-state.edu/mccain for details.
Community Connections
Several artists in the McCain Performance Series offer master classes, lectures, creative residencies and other activities for schools, businesses, senior centers and other entities to connect artists to the community.
Campus Connections
Select artists presented by the McCain Performance Series will visit campus classrooms and other locations to connect with students in informal settings. Campus Connections encourages dialogue and extends opportunities for K-State students to deepen learning unique to their fields or to discover issues beyond their classroom curriculum.
Free Student Matinees
