In the new position, Stewart will serve as the president’s lead liaison with university, government and community leadership, working to facilitate strategic initiatives and partnerships.  He’ll also lead and direct engagement efforts to strengthen the university, increase economic impact and deliver on K-State’s land-grant mission.
