From the Nominator
This 2023 Kansas State commercial is a realistic glimpse of the college experience. The video highlights the successes and moments of struggle that all students face at some point in their academic careers. Mustering the spirit needed to overcome adversity is what defines Kansas State as an educational institution. Obstacles are not something to be avoided, but something we face head on to overcome.
From the Judges
We really liked the use of failure as a way to show that students can "succeed" in their pursuits. Nicely filmed and directed as well. Great way to stand out from other higher education commercials that show only achievements.
