Shocker Neighborhood Coalition fosters connections to local community

The Shocker Neighborhood Coalitions, which is overseen by Wichita State’s Office of Engagement, hosted a meeting with 30 other community members to discuss their collective impact on northeast Wichita communities Nov. 8.

The meeting included members of the following: Wichita Libraries, Wichita Police Department, Wichita Public Schools, WSU’s Student Government Association, neighborhood churches, residents, neighborhood associations and other community-serving organizations. The meeting ended with a vote on the top community issues the Shocker Neighborhood Coalition will work on in the future. The next meeting is scheduled to take place in January.
