Barton School opens nominations for 2028 ‘Beyond’ Hall of Fame

The Barton School of Business is accepting nominations for its 2028 “Beyond” Hall of Fame class. The Hall of Fame recognizes and celebrates industry executives, business leaders, alumni and supporters whose leadership, achievements and contributions have made a lasting impact on the Barton School, Wichita State University and the broader community.

Nominations will be accepted through Oct. 19. Individuals may nominate candidates by emailing bartonbeyond@wichita.edu with the nominee’s name, title and company affiliation; a brief rationale describing the nominee’s contributions and impact; and the nominator’s name and contact information.

The 2028 inductees will join six distinguished members of the Barton School “Beyond” Hall of Fame. The inaugural class in 2024 honored W. Frank Barton, Clark Bastian and Fran Jabara. Paul Allen, Dan Carney and Steve Feilmeier joined the Hall of Fame in 2026 during the Barton School’s centennial year.
