WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY IS FUTURE FOCUSED.

What's next for Wichita State and the WSU Foundation? Will it be a life-saving cure, funding for space-age technology or an educational process guaranteeing increased reading scores for grade school children? Unfortunately, we don't have a crystal ball. Fortunately, we do have forward-thinking donors, faculty, staff and students with an unwavering commitment to a successful future for WSU. A clear vision along with an overall belief in the mission of the WSU Foundation guides us – even through the toughest economic times – to sustain the highest level of excellence for our university. To ensure a better tomorrow, Shockers remain future focused.

On the next few pages, you're invited to learn how a few of our Shockers already are shortening the span between tomorrow and today. Step into our future.
