Wichita State visitor guides are available upon request at no additional charge. They are particularly helpful if to share with students, campus or Wichita visitors, or with prospective students. These guides are updated once a year and include information on nearly every aspect of WSU.

These guides can be delivered via campus mail or be delivered to an office.

Contact Garrett Rupp in the Office of Admissions to order a set of guides at garrett.rupp@wichita.edu or 316-978-6293. Provide a campus box number or office number for delivery.

Faculty members with an interest in recruiting future Shockers should apply to become a Recruitment Faculty Fellow. Applications for the 2023-24 academic year are open through Friday, April 28.

The Faculty Fellows engage in both in-person and virtual recruitment efforts and serve as an advocate within their college to inform others about admissions activities and operations.
