Student Success
Surrounded by Support. Built for Success.
At Kansas Wesleyan, student success is more than a goal. It’s a part of everyday life. From the dedicated student success hour twice a week to the focused work, including a specific class, surrounding first-year students, our faculty, coaches and staff work together to help students feel supported, connected and confident as they make the transition to college and pursue their goals.

Through internships, partnerships and hands-on learning experiences, students gain valuable professional skills while building connections throughout the community. Beyond academics, Salina offers a vibrant college experience with well-known and local favorite restaurants, outdoor recreation, live entertainment and a thriving arts scene.
Campus Ministry
Faith. Purpose. Community.
Campus Ministry is a cornerstone of the Kansas Wesleyan experience and is there to walk alongside students at all points of their faith journeys. The Campus Ministry staff helps students discover their purpose, refine their faith and build meaningful connections. Through chaplains embedded in with every athletic and fine art program (and many academic departments), numerous small group opportunities and chances to serve throughout Salina, students find a welcoming community that supports them throughout their college journey.
