As I write this message, the alumni association has just wrapped up hosting a number of spring activities, including the Shocker Open golf tournament and the 50-year reunion for the University of Wichita’s class of 1952.
By Brad S. Beets, Association Director (Publishd Summer 2002)
The participants in these and other association and university activities demonstrate the excitement and vitality that has always energized this university. It may sound like a cliché, but I know every day is a great day to be a Shocker!
This summer, as we look forward to a new fall semester, I encourage you to ask, What can I do to assist Wichita State? You may be inspired to donate your time, talents or dollars to such pursuits as helping recruit students or giving to one of the many scholarship funds maintained by the wsu Foundation. Yet I realize we can’t all give substantial amounts of time and money.
So here are two ways of supporting wsu that don’t take much time or money, but are key to the health of our university. First, as an alum, talk proudly about Wichita State and the wonderful opportunities your wsu education provided you. Second, encourage fellow alumni who aren’t members of the association to join. For as little as $30 a year, they can show their Shocker pride and support the many important programs and publications that are sponsored by the association.
Have a great summer!
