Since its founding in the darkest days before the Civil War, Kansas has always been known for its strong character, idiosyncrasy, and love of independence. Violence between pro-slavery and abolitionists defined Kansas early, and the wave of European immigrants who came after the Civil War started a long history of progressivism and innovation in agriculture, business, and politics. Though globalism and technology shook Kansas somewhat as the millennium approached, like many other heavily agricultural states, there are clear signs that Kansas has found its footing as the 21st century unfolds. A strong public higher education system is helping Kansas' older workers educate and train for the new world of work, while industries like aerospace, aviation, and energy are revitalizing the economy. Top STEM schools like Kansas State University, alongside classical liberal arts colleges like Bethel College and Benedictine College, have Kansas looking more confidently at the future.
"The Sunflower State," according to Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris, 'has had a history of struggle and triumph, born out of the Civil War and grown in boom times and depressions, and the best colleges in Kansas carry the torch for Kansas' uniquely steadfast, resilient character." For Americans who only know Kansas from The Wizard of Oz, it may come as a surprise that "the Kansas of the 21st century faces challenges that Kansans are ready to take on headfirst - a transforming economy, political struggles, and the new world of work." Kansas colleges and universities are leading that transformation, "meeting people where they are, with extension campuses, outreach programs, and a rapidly modernizing online education system," and "regional public universities like Pittsburg State and Emporia State are making new opportunities for Kansas working adults and young people."
