A message about the Jan. 29 plane crash

As we learn more about the Jan. 29 plane crash, we know the profound effect it has had on many in Wichita, including Wichita State University. As a tight-knit community, this hits especially close to home. 2017 graduate Kiah Duggins was tragically one of the passengers aboard the American Airlines flight. Read more about Kiah and the legacy she leaves behind.

Nearly a week since the accident, we anxiously await confirmation of the full passenger list. Until then, we are unable to confirm if anyone else with ties to Wichita State University was on the flight. We are keeping the families and loved ones of all those affected in our thoughts.
