The Barton School of Business at Wichita State University has launched IMPACT — Innovative Mentored Projects for Applied Career Training, a program that provides students with paid, career-relevant project experiences while supporting meaningful work across the Wichita community and beyond.
As part of Wichita State’s strategic plan, every degree-seeking student at WSU is guaranteed an applied learning or research experience before graduation. That commitment has established WSU as a national model for career preparation and collaboration.
To accelerate this work, the Barton School received Applied Learning Fund support from Wichita State University to underwrite student wages this academic year. These university funds — allocated to WSU through state appropriations — are designed to expand experiential learning opportunities campus-wide.
