WSU Alumni Awards: Call for Nominations This past January, five extraordinary Shockers (shown here in a composite photo from the spring 2010 The Shocker magazine) and one organization were honored as the 2009 recipients of the Wichita State University Alumni Awards. To continue this tradition, everyone in the Shocker community is encouraged to nominate deserving individuals for the upcoming 2010 awards. For complete award descriptions and criteria, as well as an online nomination form, please visit webs.wichita.edu/alumni/awardsnom.asp.

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!
