WSU’s College of Engineering invites public to participate in 5k to benefit students in need

The College of Engineering at Wichita State University is hosting a public 5k run/walk that is open to students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members. The 5k will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 22 on the WSU campus. Registration proceeds from the 5k will go toward the College of Engineering Needs-Based Scholarship Fund.

“The Needs-Based Scholarship Fund provides financial support to students in need,” said Dr. Jacob Mendez, the assistant dean for student success within the college. “Last year, we were able to raise several thousand dollars to help such students, so we would like to raise even more this year.”
