An emotional @Keyontae Johnson on what @CoachJTang and K-State fans mean to him: "The trust he had in me. The belief he had. He showed his care for me. I trusted him, he trusted me. He told me he wasn't going to fail me, and he didn't." #KStateMBB #EMAW @KCTV5 @NealJoneskctv5

After Kansas State's heartbreaking loss, @CoachJTang greets every Wildcat player and coach entering the locker room, telling them to keep their head up. @KCTV5 @MarleahKCTV5 #EMAW

Todays Lego counseling group was a hit! Build a problem you’ve had, add speech/thought bubbles, share and process. #playtherapy

One of my favorite instructors at KSU 10 years ago!
Congrats to Dr. Lotta Larson, an associate COE professor, for The Mortar Board Outstanding Faculty Award! πŸ† "To me, being the fact that a student took the time to nominate and show appreciation for the work we do in the COE makes this a very special and meaningful award."

Treat others how you want to be treated… no matter how they treated you first @ChrisClassroom

School districts, if you are dealing with high attrition and turnover, remember that teachers/ staff rarely leave a job where they feel valued, supported, appreciated and treated like professionals.

Words only have the power that the listener gives them #kscounselors22
Trauma is… an event that happens too much, too fast, too soon, too little for too long #trauma
Prepare the student for the road, not the road for the student.
