College is more than just classes. We want you to enjoy the tons of recreational and academic events hosted on campus. That starts with Welcomefest, a series of events starting right before the first week of school to welcome Shockers to campus. Check out the schedule of events on the Welcomefest webpage, and register to represent your college in the headlining event, Clash of the Colleges — a field day full of events and competitions with your fellow Shockers — by Aug. 21.
You can also attend on-campus Wichita State Fine Arts and Shocker Athletics events at no additional charge with your Shocker ID, thanks to the Student Government Association. Check out the Fine Arts calendar and learn more about Shocker Athletics.
See the events calendar for upcoming events of the week or look out for Shocker Blast in your email throughout the week for more events to attend. And check out the Campus Recreation webpage for other programs on campus, including aquatics, intramural sports/sports clubs, Shocker Rowing and Shocker Fit, or make use of the Heskett Center or our top-tier Steve Clark YMCA on campus for even more recreation and fitness opportunities.
Get involved with your peers and give back to the campus community with Student Engagement & Belonging: Join a student organization (we have more than 200) or create your own; participate in fraternity and sorority life; volunteer through the Community Service Board; become a member of the Student Government Association; and more.
