Shock the Future Campaign for the Campus Infrastructure Fee

"What can we do to make our university the best it can be?"

To answer this question, we asked students, faculty and staff to identify needs and opportunities that would elevate WSU’s academic experience. Every college solicited and received feedback through annual surveys, town halls and focus groups to develop project plans that reflect student interests and academic needs and which will benefit future Shockers in every academic college for years to come, including:

  • New technology to create and collaborate
  • Better environments for applied learning and research
  • More convenient and accessible study spaces and student services

Funding in Higher Education in the state of Kansas is less than it was in 2009 and generally the State does not invest in new construction. For this reason we are proposing the Shock the Future slate of improvements through an increase in the infrastructure fee. The increase in the infrastructure fee would be $6 per credit hour.
