At The Center
Shocker personalities show up everywhere. Take a look!
For the 13th season, the WSU Distinguished Alumni Speaker Breakfast 'Rise & Shine' Series dishes up eye-opening lectures and savory breakfast buffets at the Marcus Welcome Center on Wichita State's beautiful campus.
The longer I have the privilege of serving as the executive director of the WSU Alumni Association, the surer I become about one thing.
Each of us has our own reason why Wichita State University is an important part of our lives. The WSU Alumni Association exists to provide you with a range of opportunities to keep your connection with the University alive.
For the third year, the WSU Alumni Association threw a parking-lot party for Shockers not heading back to school for the fall semester -- although quite a few 21-and-older Wichita State students, as well as university administrators, were spotted in the crowd of nearly 200.
Eighty-six former Shocker football players and coaches returned to campus May 15-16 for an all-years reunion, hosted by the wsu Alumni Association.
Every fall semester since 1991, Wichita State students have come together for Shocktoberfest, slated this year for Oct. 10-26.
There is a lot going on at the alumni association. Here is a sampling.
THE SHOCKER is published by the Wichita State University Alumni Association. Items to be considered for publication should be sent to Connie White at Connie.White@wichita.edu.
