MANHATTAN — Kansas State University officials remembered the late Bob Krause as a man who played a major role in some of the school's biggest recent development projects – including the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility – on its Manhattan and satellite campuses.
Krause, K-State's vice president for institutional advancement for 23 years, died Wednesday at the age of 70 after a battle with cancer.
"Bob was instrumental in helping K-State strategically grow in many ways over his tenure as a longtime university administrator,” said Kirk Schulz, K-State president.
“The Biosecurity Research Institute, NBAF, Colbert Hills Golf Course, the leadership studies program and Salina and Olathe campuses are examples of his impact.
