The United States Commission on Military History (USMCH) was established in 1973 after nine United States scholars traveled to the International Commission on Military History (ICMH) Colloquium in Stockholm, Sweden. ICMH was established in Zurich in 1938. In 1974 USCMH was incorporated by John Jessup, Reamer Argo, Forrest Pogue, and Philip Lundberg.

The USCMH hosted three ICMH Colloquiums. Two were held at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. in 1975 and 1982 respectively. The third was held in 2002 in Norfolk, Virginia.

In 1990, the first United States issue of Revue International d’Historie Militaire was published.

Presidents of the Commission were John Jessup (1974-1979 and 1988-1991), Philip Lundberg (1980-1983), James Collins (1984-1987), Kenneth Hagan (1991-1995), Dean Allard (1996-1999), and Allan Millett (2000-2004).

The Women's Resource Center was founded in 1973, in response to the need for women's programming at Kansas State University. In the early years, the Center was located in Fairchild Hall and staffed by volunteers who made weekly commitments to be in the Center to take calls, answer questions, and to keep it operational.
In 1975, the Center moved to Holtz Hall and became involved with raising campus awareness of the changing roles of men and women and the implications of these changes. Further, the Center taught rape prevention classes. The next year the Center moved to the Student Governing Services Offices in the K-State Student Union, which included a much-needed space for privacy. The Center continued expanding services and resources as women on campus sought assistance. It moved from a resource center to an advocacy and education office as it addressed issues such as sexual harassment, job discrimination, and sexual assault.
By 1983, the Center had moved to Holton Hall and had created more programs, classes, workshops, and one-on-one consultations on sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, and self defense. These offerings were available to students, faculty, staff, and community members. Groups and campaigns associated with the Center included WAR (Wildcats Against Rape), PEERS (Proactive Educators for the Elimination of Sexual Violence), CNV (Campaigns for Nonviolence), SafeZone, and It's On Us, K-State.
In 2014, the Women's Center changed its named to CARE (Center for Advocacy, Response, and Education).
