WSU and Wichita – drawing strength from each other

The two-way streets between Wichita State and its community are fast-paced, widening and full of promise. Our children are learning from WSU student teachers. Local business leaders are influencing WSU curriculum. University faculty are engaging students in community research projects. Success is the outcome for all. Without your support, some of these streets may narrow quickly or come to dead ends. Your investment nurtures WSU students and faculty, strengthening their collaborations within the community.

Within these pages, you're invited to meet a few of the people who travel the two-way streets between WSU and their community. Enjoy the ride.
