Krause has played a key role in the development of both the university
and the athletic department since his appointment as K-State's
vice president for institutional advancement in September 1986.
Krause is the chief student affairs officer for Kansas State University and also oversees external university relations with various constituencies. He coordinates the university's on-going activities with the K-State department of athletics, the KSU Foundation, the K-State Alumni Association and works with various external groups such as the Board of Regents, Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation and other governmental agencies.
Since his arrival at K-State, Krause has focused attention on ways to improve the attraction and retention of students; means by which the university can better assist Manhattan and the state of Kansas in the area of economic development through cooperative endeavors with local and state agencies; and ways to expand public awareness regarding the value society receives from the teaching, research and service provided by K-State faculty.
Krause came to K-State from the Minnesota State University System, where he served as director of student affairs from 1983 to 1986. In that role, he coordinated system-wide policy and program development for seven state universities enrolling some 51,000 students. From 1975 to 1983, he served as vice president for student affairs at Southwest State University in Minnesota.
