Message from President Beggs to faculty and staff Message from President Beggs to faculty and staff

The Kansas Board of Regents has accepted my request that they initiate the process for selecting the next president of Wichita State University. They plan for the process to be completed and the 13th president of Wichita State University to be in place during the summer of 2012.

The immediate impact is the need to stop the search for a provost until the new president can assume responsibility for the process. All other planned activities and planning processes will continue.

The Kansas Board of Regents is determined to identify a person who is committed to our students, faculty, staff and alumni. The success of our university is a reflection on each of you and the special city and region that we serve. We are continuing to change to be prepared to address new challenges as our world changes. We will continue to do more to be more.

I am committed to full speed ahead to make this a positive year in every way!

Donald L. Beggs
President
