WSU Alumni Awards: Call for nominations

Each year since 1955, the WSU Alumni Association has honored Wichita State alumni, faculty and staff with WSU Alumni awards, continuing a proud tradition of recognizing personal and professional achievement as well as service to the university and to society. Everyone in the Shocker community is encouraged to nominate deserving individuals for the upcoming 2009 awards.

The Recognition Award is presented to alumni or faculty and friends of the university for particular service to WSU.

The Laura M. Cross Distinguished Service Award is presented to an employee or retired employee of WSU who has given extraordinary service to the university.
