Trang Bui‑Tieu serves as the manager of student impact in the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships and has been working at Wichita State for more than six years. She joined the Staff Senate in 2024 to strengthen connections across campus and help ensure staff feel supported, valued and represented. What keeps her rooted at WSU is the sense of community – the colleagues who care deeply about students, the moments of collaboration that make the work meaningful and the joy she feels watching students cross the graduation stage knowing she played a small part in their journey.
Outside the office, Trang finds joy in traveling, spending time with her family, learning photography and exploring her love of food, whether she’s cooking at home or discovering new places to eat. She’s energized by experiences that bring people together and believes that celebrating small wins and leaning on one another – especially during challenging times – is what makes the Shocker community so special.
