Earlier this month, the boards of directors of the Wichita State University Foundation and the Wichita State University Alumni Association (WSUAA) each voted unanimously to consolidate the WSUAA’s operations in an effort to strengthen ongoing engagement with alumni, donors and friends of the university.
The vote followed a comprehensive process that began in 2020 to review and provide recommendations on structural solutions that would support ongoing financial assistance for the WSUAA.
“The members of the alumni association board feel that now is the time for the WSUAA and the foundation to combine forces so we can better serve Wichita State University and its many stakeholders,” said Cindy Hoover, chair of the WSUAA Board of Directors.
