Refer A Shocker

Do you know someone who would make a great Shocker? A son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandchild? A student, neighbor or co-worker? An adult friend who’s thinking of going back to school but needs a little encouragement? Well, Aaron Hamilton ’97 and other WSU Undergraduate Admissions personnel would like to hear from you, and they’re making it a little easier with their website’s new “Refer a Shocker” feature: http://www.admissions.wichita.edu/Referral/referashocker.asp.

“We want to recruit our own. To do so, we need to know who and where they are,” says Hamilton, assistant director of undergraduate admissions. “This website will help us do just that.”

The simple, straightforward online form lets you clue admissions pros in on that ideal candidate, with space for extracurricular as well as academic interests. Once they’ve got the all-important info, admissions staff can contact prospective students first rather than waiting for them to make the first move. Everyone loves to feel sought after. By referring a Shocker, you can help the university make these vital connections — and maybe make a perfect match!


Shocker Heritage Fund Kicks Off

The Alumni Association has kicked off its annual Shocker Heritage Fund campaign drive. Each year we ask alumni and friends of Wichita State University to consider a gift in support of our mission "to create, maintain and enhance relationships among current and prospective university students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends that will foster loyalty, interest and support for WSU and one another." The Shocker Heritage Fund provides crucial funding for the continuance of current Alumni Association programs, as well as allowing for the initiation of new areas of service.

To learn more about the Shocker Heritage Fund and to make a gift online, click here Donna Lamb at (316) 978-3836.
