Wichita State’s SHOCKFEST (Welcome Weekend) is back, and organizers invite Registered Student Organizations to host events that help new and returning Shockers feel welcomed, connected and excited to be part of Shocker Nation.
What is SHOCKFEST? – SHOCKFEST is WSU’s Welcome Weekend — a campus-wide celebration happening Aug. 14-16. Think fun events, new friends, live energy and all the reasons students fall in love with Shocker Nation occurring the weekend prior to the first day of classes.
Why host an event? – Whether it’s a game night, ice-cream social, a creative hangout or anything else, your event can help new and returning students kick off their semester right. Event submissions are open June 8-July 13. Check out the submission process and event host resources.
SHOCKFEST is sponsored by the Office of Student Success: First-Year Programs. For more information, reach out to Eiran Saucedo Rodarte, assistant director of First-Year Programs, at eiran.saucedo-rodarte@wichita.edu.
