The Barton School of Business has taken a bold step to amplify the student voice by merging its Undergraduate and Graduate Student Advisory Boards into a single, unified body. Representing more than 2,500 business students, the newly established Barton School Dean’s Student Advisory Board will serve as a catalyst for strategic guidance, enhanced programming and an enriched student experience — all contributing to the Barton School’s advancement and its positioning among the top business schools in the nation.
Leading the board is Maley Hansen, a Wichita native and accomplished junior double-majoring in economics and data-driven marketing & intelligence, with minors in business analytics and political science. A recipient of the prestigious Harry Gore Memorial Scholarship, Hansen has distinguished herself through academic excellence, campus leadership and a dedication to student success.
“I am deeply honored to serve as president of this transformative new board,” Hansen said. “By bringing together both undergraduate and graduate perspectives, we can unify our voices, champion meaningful change, and ensure that every student feels empowered to shape their Barton School experience.”
