The WSU Retiree Association is a body "of retirees, for retirees" working on behalf of former faculty and staff members to foster social interaction, continued educational and professional development, and greater engagement in the life of the university and its initiatives.

A welcome from WSU President Rick Muma

It truly is a great time to be a Shocker! Lots of exciting things are happening for Wichita State — not the least of which are our efforts around supporting people at all ages and in all phases of their lives.

I know many retired faculty and staff want to stay connected with the university by attending Shocker athletic events, fine arts performances, lectures and seminars, and through the friendships you maintain with current WSU staff, faculty, and students. Now, with the formal establishment of the WSU Retiree Association, you’ll be able to learn about and more easily take advantage of all the perks available to retired Wichita State faculty and staff.

Your legacy and the contributions you made over the years endure and are part of what makes Shocker Nation what it is today. Please remember that you’re always welcome at Wichita State. You will forever be a Shocker, and Shocker Nation will forever be your home.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rick Muma,
President, Wichita State University
