AT THE CENTER

Martha Buford Hosts Women United

University friend and Women United for the Shockers founding member Martha Buford hosted fellow WU members and event honoree mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato '92 at her lovely Wichita home on April 9.

Bringing Home Legends

The party was on for the week of Feb. 4-9, when Shockers from just about every age group and many locales across the country came together to celebrate Homecoming 2013 and the 100th birthday of the alumni association, established in 1913.

Shocker Open Tees Off This September

The Shocker Open Presented by the Butler Group is making a move. The alumni association's golf tournament, traditionally played in the spring, is set to tee off Thursday, Sept. 5.

Messages from the Association

There has never been a better time to be a Shocker! There is an incredible momentum at Wichita State created by President Bardo, and we see the same momentum echoed in the accomplishments of our Alumni Association.
