Reminders, deadlines and events

* WSU will have a campus-wide steam outage beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, July 9, to facilitate Kansas Gas Service replacement of the gas meter assembly outside of the Power Plant. The only disruption to normal campus operation occupants might notice is some buildings may not have hot water at sinks, and the buildings may be cooler than normal since we will not have hot water for reheat.

* Welcomefest takes place during the first two weeks of classes each semester and features dozens of activities. The deadline to submit events for inclusion in all Welcomefest marketing is 5 p.m. Friday, July 13. To register your event, go to https://wsu.news/fallwelcome2018. If you have questions, please contact Student Involvement at 978-3022 or getinvolved@wichita.edu.
