Welcome to the online version of The Shocker, Wichita State University's alumni magazine. Here, you'll find a wealth of information about Wichita State, its alumni association, athletes, students, staff, administration, programs and — most of all — its alumni.
For videos of 2008 Alumni Award winners' presentations, visit our YouTube channel here. For more alumni and university news, go to the WSU Alumni Association's Facebook page and become a fan!
The print version of The Shocker is delivered to paid members of the alumni association twice annually; the electronic edition features selected stories from the print magazine, and is available to all. We are working to archive past articles from The Shocker here. To join the association and receive all benefits of paid membership, please visit webs.wichita.edu/alumni/member.asp.

And for many in this south central Kansas county with a population of 8,500, Taylor is their community connection.
