Opportunity to develop new First-Year Seminars on July 31

After piloting First-Year Seminars (FYS) for three years, the faculty have approved requiring an FYS course for all first-time-in-college students as part of their general education experience starting in fall 2021.

Additional sessions will be scheduled in the future and announced in 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Today. Information is also available at First-Year Seminars, , or you can contact Carolyn.Shaw@wichita.edu or Kim.Sandlin@wichita.edu with questions.

Special campus visit planned for community, alumni and educators

The majority of Wichita State alumni in the Wichita area graduated when it had the reputation as a commuter school. Several community members and educators have a familiarity with Wichita State, but few know about the opportunities we share with our prospective student population. In the past few years, our campus has become a place of dynamic growth with new buildings and programs aimed to preserve the legacy of Shocker Nation and continue to build on it.

In an effort to update perceptions of our campus, our office is hosting a special campus visit for the community, alumni and educators in the Marcus Welcome Center at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 31. As part of the event, attendees will hear from our staff about the updates and plans for the future, take a tour of campus with current students, enjoy refreshments and even take home some Shocker swag.
