Kudos for the Alumni Mag
Dear Editor:
This (fall/winter 2017) is the best The Shocker magazine ever. Keep up the good work!
Rosy ’79 and Pat ’76/79 Crowley, Indianapolis, Ind.
Dear Editor:
This fall/winter 2017 issue of The Shocker is really impressive. Fun to read and review. I noticed the cardio connections, which has always been a special interest to me professionally. (Two leading cardiac researchers are featured in the issue: Mona Nemer ’77 in the cover story “A Scientist’s Scientist” and Vincent Gott ’50 in the Alumni News article “Shocker Football, Cardiac Surgery and the Art of Mending a Broken Heart”)
Best wishes for the New Year.

Don’t Miss this Trio of Shocker Ventures and Partnerships
Dear Readers:
As you make your way through the pages of this issue of The Shocker, please don’t miss the two inserts that we’ve added to this mailing. They cover three totally different kinds of Shocker ventures: the WSUAA’s Shocker Alumni Walkway (also see the ad on Page 66), the WSU Collection of Lamzy Divey jewelry, and The Shocker’s first-ever financial support group The Shocker Masthead, membership in which comes with a unique sign-up gift, a mini-poster of Wade Hampton Marginalia illustrations from back issues of the alumni magazine. (Turn back to Page 3 if you missed seeing this compilation of WuShock illustrations!)
As different as each of these three enterprises is from the others, they have two things in common. They are all ways in which you can tangibly show your Shocker Pride, and they are all means by which you can assist the WSUAA in realizing its mission of service to Wichita State and to the individual members of WSU’s multifarious alumni body.
