Visiting muralist GLeo painted the stunning “Adelante Juntos – Forward Together” mural at the Duerksen Fine Arts Center Amphitheater. The mural was painted in conjunction with an exhibition at the Ulrich Museum of Art in May 2024.

The mural celebrates the past, present and future of Latinx culture at Wichita State, and whether you are at the amphitheater for an event or want to take in the intricate detail of the mural, it’s the perfect trip to make between your classes.

Kate Tilma and Mackenzie Wilson both earned top 10 finishes to lead Shocker women’s golf to a third-place finish in the Powercat Invitational Oct. 21 at Colbert Hills Golf Club.

Wichita State recorded rounds of 303, 303 and 319 for a total score of 925, 61 strokes over par. Host Kansas State cruised to the team title, finishing 27 strokes ahead of second-place Cincinnati.

Wichita State was topped only by Power Four opponents — the Wildcats and Bearcats — on its way to a fourth top-five team finish of the fall season. The four top-five finishes match the most for the Shockers in a single fall season since joining the American Conference in 2017-18. It’s also the most top-five finishes in any season since 2017-18, when they recorded seven total.
