Innovation Campus and Wichita State faculty partners attended the first Faculty and Innovation Campus Partner Mixer April 27.

The mixer was the first in a series of networking opportunities facilitated by WSU to encourage knowledge sharing and establish relationships among faculty and Innovation Campus partners.

Stay tuned for future mixers and chances to RSVP.

Wichita State has launched an online portal for our Innovation Campus partners. The portal offers a “one-stop shop” for the resources available on campus.

Some of the resources listed include campus dining options, news and events at WSU, Shocker Alerts and many more.

Wichita State’s Staff Senate is hosting a walking tour of the university’s Innovation Campus partner NetApp beginning at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday April 11. The group will be led by Katie Dawes with NetApp.

The tour will focus on NetApp’s new building features and the work within. After the tour, participants are encouraged to stop by the Food Truck Plaza on Perimeter road.

On the day of the tour, plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early for registration on NetApp’s system. This just requires the name, phone number and email address for everyone on the tour. Everyone will also sign an NDA during registration. Though the process itself is fairly quick and easy, with a large group it can take a time to get through.

The campus community is invited to attend an open house for the Smart Factory @ Wichita from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, April 24.

Registration is required, and attendance is limited to 25 people. This is a tour of the Smart Factory, one of Deloitte’s global immersive experiences designed in collaboration with ecosystem participants to accelerate digital transformation. It demonstrates first-hand how manufacturers can evolve for the future and elevate their capabilities and processes through technological innovation.
