Barton In the News

After a successful inaugural year, Wichita State University’s Spero program is entering its second year. Spero—Latin for “hope”—helps individuals achieve lasting independence through skill-building and access to meaningful employment. Participants complete employer- and market-oriented training that leads to micro-credentials, making Spero the first micro-credential program in WSU’s history and the first 1EdTech TrustEd Micro-credential program in the world.

The W. Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Chris Broberg as Interim Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship (CFE). Dr. Broberg currently serves as Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Associate Dean for Faculty and Research within the Barton School.  We extend our sincere gratitude to Nancy Kersenbrock for her service as Interim Director. She will return to her longstanding role as Associate Director of the Center, a position she has held since 2015.
