Emporia State University, often referred to as Emporia State or ESU, is a public university in Emporia, Kansas, United States, east of the Flint Hills. Established in March 1863 and originally known as the Kansas State Normal School, Emporia State is the third oldest public university in the state of Kansas.[8] Emporia State is one of six public universities governed by the Kansas Board of Regents.[9]

The university offers degrees in more than 80 courses of study through four colleges and/or schools: the School of Business, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, School of Library and Information Management, and The Teachers College. The Teachers College is one of only four post-secondary institutions in the nation to be identified as an Exemplary Model Teacher Education program by Arthur Levine in his 2006 national study of teacher education programs.[10]

Emporia State's intercollegiate athletic teams are known as the Hornets with the exception of the women's teams, which are known as the Lady Hornets. Emporia State competes in NCAA Division II and is a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA). Since joining the NCAA Division II in 1991, the Lady Hornets basketball team is the only team to win a NCAA championship.[11]

History

Lyman Beecher Kellogg, 1st president of Kansas State Normal School
Ellen Plumb, right, and Mary J. Watson, left, the first graduating class of the Kansas State Normal School in 1867.

The university was founded on March 7, 1863 when the Kansas Legislature passed the enabling act to establish the Kansas State Normal School. Although Emporia State was established in 1863, it was not until February 15, 1865 that classes began.[12]

The first president of the Kansas Normal School, who was also the school's only teacher, Lyman Beecher Kellogg, taught nearly 20 students in the district school house. The school's first class graduated on June 28, 1867, the same year the first permanent building was completed, consisted of two women, Mary Jane Watson and Ellen Plumb.[13] The two women were daughters of two notable persons in Kansas; the first being Judge Watson, a local judge, and the second being Senator Preston B. Plumb.

The name "Normal" originated in France during the 17th century and was given to schools that had "model" classrooms or schools designed to educate teachers-in-training in the proper practices of teaching students. The United States had many Normal schools in the 19th century and most changed their names to "Teachers College". Many later became "State Universities."[14]

In 1876, the Kansas Legislature passed the "Miscellaneous appropriations bill of 1876".[15] The end result was that Leavenworth Normal and Concordia Normal were closed so the state funding for normal schools could be directed to Emporia.[16]

Allison Garrett, ESU's current president

KSN branched out with locations in Pittsburg and Hays, Kansas. The western branch in Hays opened June 3, 1902 and is today known as Fort Hays State University. The Pittsburg branch was opened as the Manual Training Auxiliary School in 1904 and became a four-year school named Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg in 1913. Today it is Pittsburg State University.[17]

In February 1923, the name of the school was changed to the Kansas State Teachers College. In July 1974, the name was changed to Emporia Kansas State College. On April 21, 1977, the college became Emporia State University. Even before any of the name changes were made official by the Kansas Legislature and Board of Regents, though, the school was called Emporia State unofficially by some in the public and in many news reports.[18]

Dr. Michael Shonrock became the 16th president of Emporia State University on January 3, 2012.[19] On April 9, 2015, it was announced that Michael Shonrock was stepping down to become president at Lindenwood University, effective June 1.[20] Former Butler Community College president Dr. Jacqueline Vietti became interim president.[21] On October 22, 2015, Allison Garrett, Executive Vice President at Abilene Christian University, was selected as Emporia State University's 17th president, effective January 2016.[22]

Memorial for Fallen Educators

On June 13, 2013, NTHF executive director, along with former university officials, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran's staff, and local government leaders broke ground by the one-room school house located on the Emporia State campus to build a memorial for the teachers that have fallen in the "line of duty". The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was the main inspiration for the memorial.[52] On June 6, 2014, the granite memorial markers were placed along with granite benches.[53] The official dedication was on June 12, 2014.[54]

On September 21, 2015, United States Senator Moran of Kansas introduced a bill to the United States Congress to designate the memorial as the "National Memorial to Fallen Educators".[55] Should the bill pass by both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, the memorial would then need signed by the President of the United States, and the memorial would not become apart of the National Park Service and would not receive Federal funding for the memorial.[56]

Mascots

Main article: Corky the Hornet
Corky the Hornet at an Emporia State football game.

Corky the Hornet is Emporia State University's mascot.[121] In the 1930s, when Emporia State University was named Kansas State Teachers College, the athletic teams were known as the "Yaps". Many people were not fond of the name, most notably legendary coach, Vic Trusler.[122] Trusler suggested to a local writer, Cecil Carle of the Emporia Gazette, that the university's athletic teams should be called the "Yellow Jackets". However, the name changed to "Hornets" because of the lack of newspaper space.[122]

In 1933, the Kansas State Teachers College had a student contest where students and staff could design a mascot for the college. A sophomore by the name of Paul Edwards, who graduated in 1937, designed Corky for a campus-wide logo contest. Many students sent in their drawings of a mascot, but they chose Edwards' Corky, a "human–like" hornet. Corky was published in The Bulletin, the student newspaper for Emporia State University.[122]

In August 2014, it was announced that in January 2015, Corky will have a nephew.[123] Buz will be a smaller, more "child friendly" hornet that will visit local schools, participate in community events and be present at ESU activities. Buz will be designed by Corky's creator Paul Edwards, who is turning 100 years old in January 2015. Buz will also debut in January 2015 at Edwards' birthday party.[123]

Foundation

The Emporia State University Foundation was established in 1952.[124] It was established as an independent, nonprofit corporation that exists to support Emporia State University. The Foundation raises, receives, manages, invests, and distributes private resources in support of the university’s mission in the areas of teaching, research, public service, and scholarship.

Welch Stadium, was originally rung only after a football team won at home.[128]

Police and Safety

ESU Police and Safety is the police department for Emporia State University. The officers are qualified, as they have attended the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center and met for the same requirements as sheriff's officers or city police officers. Besides enforcing the law, the department also provides other assistance for the students and faculty/staff members. Those include escorts and vehicle problems like jump starts and lock outs.[129] The Department has nine full-time commissioned officers (1 director, 3 sergeants, 2 corporals, 3 officers), one full-time dispatcher and several student dispatchers.[130] The Kansas Highway Patrol also has an office in the building.
