Year: 2024

The deadline for New and Continuing Student Scholarship Applications for the 2024-25 academic year has been extended to April 1 on Scholarship Universe.

ScholarshipUniverse is the scholarship-matching tool for admitted and current Wichita State students. The tool connects Shockers to millions of dollars in both institutional and external scholarships based on their personal information.

Dr. Jason Bosch, the assistant dean for student success in the College of Engineering and the president of the University Staff Senate, has accepted a new position at the Kansas Leadership Center. A farewell reception to recognize the distinguished service of Dr. Bosch is planned from 10 a.m. to noon Monday, Feb. 5 in 142 Rhatigan Student Center, Harvest Room. WSU staff and faculty are encouraged to attend.

The first performance in 2024 of Wednesdays in Wiedemann with Professor Lynne Davis will take place at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 7 in Wiedemann Hall on the great Marcussen organ.

There is admission at no additional charge to the half-hour program, which includes works by Nicolas de Grigny, Samuel Barber and Louis Vierne. Come and experience WSU’s iconic hall and organ.

The Rhatigan Student Center offers a daily study room for students. Each day, the RSC designates an open meeting room as the official study room of the day. The room will be unlocked and open to students to come and go as they please to study all day.

This is to be a quiet, shared space. Follow the RSC on Instagram (@wsursc) and check out its stories daily to find out which room is the study room.
