Experience!
Name
Kaylan Richardson
Year at WSU
Senior
Hometown
Grain Valley, MO
Major
Elementary Education with minors in Marketing and Organizational Leadership & Learning
Why I chose my major
I chose my major because I found a passion for helping people and children. I love
that studying education gives you so many valuable and transferrable skills in and
out of the classroom.
Involvement
I am involved in Student Ambassador Society (SAS), the Mortar Board Honors Society,
the National Society of Leadership and Success, and Intramural Sports.
Why I chose Wichita State
I chose Wichita State for a multitude of reasons, but some of my favorite are:
- Affordability, being able to receive instate tuition was major. The scholarship opportunities are amazing, it put WSU at the top of my list after knowing about all the different types and ways to earn scholarships.
- Applied learning, being able to take part in internships that weren't just in the classroom was important to me. I wanted to see what else I could do with an education degree, and Wichita State allowed me to do that.
- Class sizes, I knew I wouldn't thrive in classes where I had over 100 other students in there. Wichita State's classes are more personable, and the professors truly care about you and want you to succeed.
Favorite thing about WSU
My favorite thing about Wichita State is how easy it is to get involved and connected!
From before my first day of school I was able to get involved on campus. This allowed
me to make some of my best friends! It's so easy to get connected with faculty and
staff on campus, they care so much about students and want to see everyone succeed,
so they will do everything they can to help.
