Fort Hays State, NW Kansas technical colleges enter partnership to help students advance
HAYS, Kan. (KWCH) – Fort Hays State University welcomed Governor Laura Kelly to town Wednesday morning for a ceremonial signing of the strategic affiliation bill. The bill aims to keep students in Kansas and provide them with a path from their undergraduate years to starting a career.
With the signing, FHSU, Northwest Technical College and North Central Kansas Technical College will begin their affiliation program.
“It allows these three entities to go into a voluntary alliance so they can provide better services for the students in this area,” said the governor.
The Center for Applied Technology is home to Fort Hays State’s technical programs. With the strategic affiliation bill, Gov. Kelly hopes more students will be taking those programs.
“It offers just all sorts of flexibility and nimbleness that we’re going to absolutely have to have in education in the future,” she said.
FHSU Chair of Applied Technology Kim Stewart said flexibility is key.
“They can take a welding certificate program at NCK tech and then they have the chance to take a second-year program at Fort Hays,” said Stewart.
He said the affiliation will provide students with more opportunities and allow them to advance in their field much easier than before.
“The beauty of that is that students now have the opportunity to build on what they have already accomplished at a technical college, with their skill set or skill development. and now they can move on to other activities such as management in the case of construction management,” Stewart said.
The affiliation is set to begin in the fall 2024 semester.

BYU Football Gets Trolled By Kansas Player After Upset Loss
PROVO, Utah – BYU football suffered its first loss of the 2024 season over the weekend to the Kansas Jayhawks.
In their first visit to Provo, the Jayhawks won 17-13 to keep their bowl game hopes alive as they improved to a 4-6 record overall.
BYU football had four trips to the red zones, resulting in zero touchdowns and only six points.
Kansas CB Cobee Bryant trolled BYU football and their No. 6 ranking
After the game at LaVell Edwards Stadium, Kansas star cornerback Cobee Bryant turned to TikTok to share his thoughts on BYU with his 112,100 followers.
He posted a dance video to the song “Clock Dat” by FendiDa Rappa with the caption, “No way they was #6 in da country.”

@cobeebryant2 theres no way bro😂 #fyp #viral #BTA #humbled ♬ Clock Dat (feat. Shamar Marco) – FendiDa Rappa & Shamar Marco
Bryant’s commentary was a common thread in the national narrative after BYU’s first trip up of the year.
Bryant finished the game with three tackles in the win. The senior cornerback is one of the top defensive backs in the Big 12.
Last year against BYU in Lawrence, Bryant had a forced fumble that he scooped and scored, plus an interception. He finishes his college career against BYU with a 2-0 record.
BYU will look to get back in the win column this week when it travels to Tempe to face nationally-ranked Arizona State. Bryant and Kansas welcome red-hot Colorado to Lawrence.
