Wichita State is hosting a card shower to honor Deltha Colvin, associate vice president of college readiness/retention programs at TRIO Student Support Services, who is retiring after 55 years of service to the university.
Since Colvin is not currently in Wichita, in lieu of an in-person celebration, the campus community can send cards to the Office of Academic Affairs, who will route them to Colvin, care of Laura Manning, executive assistant to the provost. No postage is necessary. Please send your cards to Academic Affairs by Wednesday, Aug. 13.
Colvin, a nationally recognized leader in student support and access programs, has been a driving force behind TRIO initiatives at WSU, including Upward Bound, Student Support Services, Veterans Upward Bound, McNair Scholars and GEAR UP. She was also among the first graduates of TRIO Upward Bound when it launched in 1965.
