Shocker2Shocker.com: It’s been tested, tried and renamed by Shocker alumni. Now, the alumni association’s new WSU online community (formerly called YellowAndBlack.net) is live — and waiting for your visit! That’s Shocker2Shocker.com.
No matter where you’ve landed after graduation — whether Wichita, Waxahachie or Timbuktu — you’re invited to reconnect with Shocker alumni and friends worldwide at Shocker2Shocker.com. Let us know what’s going on with you, and network with other Shockers in your profession or your region.
At Shocker2Shocker.com, not only do we keep up with alumni news, but we're ever interested in posting WuShock sightings. One observant Shocker, for instance, snapped this shot of either Wu or a most Wu-like creature in Canada this summer.
All you need to log into the site is your YellowAndBlack ID number, which is printed next to your name on the mailing label on the back cover of this issue of The Shocker.
The number is also your membership ID number, which is printed on your membership card, if you have one.
