KU, KSU conjoin for research
Special to the Kansan
Competition on the basketball court may be strong as ever, but the University of Kansas and Kansas State University are discovering cooperation in the classroom pays big dividends.
The state's two largest universities have a history of working together. Recently, however, at the urging of the state legislature and the Board of Regents, that spirit of cooperation has intensified.
By MARK IOST
During the past year, representatives from KU and K-State met twice to review and evaluate the collaboration between the two schools. One of the areas benefiting from the united effort is cancer research.
In April, K-State's Center for Basic Cancer Research, the Cancer Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center and the biological departments at KU co-sponsored the Kansas Cancer Research Conference.
One hundred and fifty faculty members from both universities gathered to discuss cancer research.
The universities have also submitted a proposal to Wesley Foundation in Wichita for research and training money. The program would allow students and senior faculty to conduct research together.
"We're opening our senior faculty labs to the next generation of scientists," Jane Henney, assistant chancellor of the KU Med Center said. "Training our young people in that way is something we should be about.
"It's unusual to have two institutions that provide a vehicle for this kind of cooperation. It's truly unique.
KU and K-State are also building on their history of cooperation in architecture.
"We've worked closely with KState for a number of years," Max Lucas, dean of architecture, said. "We try not duplicate programs, and
we share speakers."
The Center for Architectural Studies, slated to be established in downtown Kansas City, Mo., will give architecture students from KU and K-State a chance to work in an urban setting. A studio for fifth-year architecture students is being developed in which the students will work for actual clients. Professors from both schools will teach in the studio.
- KU and K-State have completed a cooperative civil engineering master's degree program in Topeka.
