WSU departments encouraged to register for Open Streets ICT

Open Streets ICT – WSU & Shocker Neighborhood returns April 13 and university colleges, groups and organizations are encouraged to participate.

From noon to 4 p.m. April 13, Open Streets ICT will take place on 17th Street from Oliver to Volutsia. The almost two-mile stretch is open for biking, walking and running.

The event is free and open to the public.

WSU groups can register for free by putting “on route” on their registration.

In 2024, 90 vendors and 10 food trucks set up on campus and in the neighborhood. Naquela Pack, director of K-12 connections and special projects for Wichita State Connect, expects similar numbers in April.

“We want to take advantage of summer coming up,” Pack said. “Groups can share their services, camps, opportunities they have for young people.”
