Chair, WSU Foundation
Dear Shocker family member:
With your help, Wichita State University continues to be an evolving and progressive university with:
- new buildings – like the Marcus Welcome Center, which houses our admissions and scholarship staff.
- new technology – like the Delta Dental of Kansas Foundation Dental Hygiene Clinic and new state-of-the-art training stations.
- new professionals – like Dr. Zulma Toro-Ramos who has joined us as the new dean of the College of Engineering.
Along with the new, your support helps us continue the tradition of putting students, faculty and staff first.
By demonstrating your belief in our mission, during our fiscal year 2005 (July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005), you helped the Foundation:
- exceed our fund-raising goal of $12.5 million in cash and in-kind gifts by raising more than $17.1 million.
- establish 31 new planned gifts with a face value of more than $3.3 million.
- surpass the Annual Fund's campaign goal, raising a total of $483,008 in pledges, which will benefit WSU's six colleges.
Your commitment as a private donor continues to play a pivotal role in the successful future of WSU. Thank you for your loyalty and generosity, and for believing in us.
Our warmest regards,
Barry Schwan
Chair, WSU Foundation Board of Directors 2005 - 2007
