Pat Bosco, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., came to Kansas State as a student, became student body president a few years later, and after graduation began to work for K-State. He served the university until his retirement in 2019, working under five university Presidents in a career that culminated in the titles of Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students. In 2004, the Student Governing Association named the plaza outside the K-State Student Union in his honor. It was the only time in the school’s history that a person still employed at K-State received such recognition. His dedication to Kansas State students and to his university played a vital role in K-State’s resurgence under former President Jon Wefald. Under Bosco's leadership, K-State became the No. 1 choice for Kansas high school seniors and remains so today. He is a recognized national leader in student life, enrollment management, and student affairs, with his expertise, knowledge, and perspectives sought by state and national organizations. He’s now a grandfather, youth coach, and poker player, and he will forever be a K-State icon.
