A new Scholars Walk on the Wichita State University campus honors the achievements of faculty and their roles as scholars, mentors and innovators.
Installed this month, the Scholars Walk is a series of banners along the northeast walkway from the Plaza of Heroines to Heskett Center highlighting faculty from each of WSU’s academic colleges. Each banner includes a QR code that links to a biography and additional information on each faculty member’s scholarly work.
“The Scholars Walk is a celebration of our faculty who propel Wichita State’s mission forward through discovery, creativity and teaching excellence,” said Dr. Monica Lounsbery, Wichita State senior executive vice president and provost. “Our faculty play an essential role in advancing our work and every day, they are a catalyst for the growth of our students, one another, and the communities we serve. This walkway honors and celebrates their many achievements.”
The 11 faculty members are selected by WSU’s academic colleges in coordination with the Office of Academic Affairs.
Each banner along the path tells part of Wichita State’s story, a narrative rooted in exploration, discovery and the advancement of human understanding.
