The Bash

A New Shocker Tradition

BY JESSICA SEIBEL '08

The BashThere were quite a few Wichita State alums happy they didn’t have to head back to class in August. To celebrate the occasion, they returned to campus for a party!

The Bash, which was held Aug. 24, featured food, drink, live music, a photo booth and games. “It was a great night,” says Ashlee Baysinger ’12, assistant director of student and young alumni relations at the alumni association. 

“The bands kept the crowd involved, the washer tournament was a success and the food was great.”

Live music was provided by Reggie Littleton and Contemp-Oh!

“It was an awesome time at The Bash put on by the WSU Alumni Association,” says Ray Cozart of Contemp-Oh!

While attendees listened to the music, they enjoyed fantastic food from Old Chicago, Chipotle, Chili’s and Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, soda and water from QuikTrip and beer from JT’s Liquor.

Printing Inc. sponsored invitations to the Shocker party, which featured a washer tournament won by Mike Gunzelman ’10 and Joey Huggins ’11. Grabbing second place were Laura Calhoun ’12 and JT Ronnfeldt.

“We had a lot of fun,” says Baysinger, who worked with Young Alumni Council members to plan The Bash. “I can’t wait to see what next year brings us.”

From the President and CEO

This coming February will mark my ninth year with the Alumni Association, and for the ninth year in a row (indeed, for years before that!) I can enthusiastically write: It’s an exciting time for the Alumni Association and Wichita State.
