Part of this accreditation will include a site visit Oct. 12-14. One of the requirements of the CCNE for renewal is to provide an opportunity for input from affected parties regarding the program’s qualification for accreditation status.

This input will include any constituent of the nursing program who can submit their written comments to be shared with members of the evaluation team before the site visit. The evaluation team will consider third-party comments in regards to the accreditation standards, and will at no time during the review process share those comments with the School of Nursing.

Comments will be accepted by the CCNE until seven days before the Oct. 12 visit.

All comments must be signed and should be directed to the following:

NASA’s International Space Apps hackathon is coming to Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) Oct. 1-2.

NASA invites coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, artists and technologists to come together in a global hackathon. Over two days, participants from around the world will create in-person and virtual teams to solve challenges using NASA’s open-source data.

Space Apps is for everyone, including those who have never hacked before. The competition is open to passionate problem solvers of all ages. While some of the challenges are technical, others require the use of artistic ability, business acumen, and historical imagination. In other words, you do not need to be a coder or data expert to be a part of Space Apps. In fact, the most diverse teams are often the most successful.

Teams consist of two to six participants. The hackathon will begin 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 and conclude on Sunday, Oct. 2. Upon registration, participants will receive details on the release of challenges and virtual boot camp videos, as well as the opening of chat and team formation.

The deadline to register for the Wichita event is Sunday Sept. 18.

The hackathon is hosted by the NIAR’s Advanced Technologies Lab for Aerospace Systems (ATLAS) and will take place in the ATLAS labs.

Facilities Services has updated its entire campus key policy, effective immediately. Please refer to the Wichita State Facilities Services Policies page for more information and to view the updates.
