Wichita State students can develop skills and help pay for college by participating in applied learning opportunities while working on their degree. Check out the Shocker Career Accelerator to get started and find help landing an internship. Also, talk with your professors for more potential opportunities.

Faculty are continuing to use the Student Early Alert System (SEAS) to share feedback on student progress.

If you receive a SEAS alert, it means your instructor has noticed something that may impact your success — such as attendance, participation or missing assignments. This is an opportunity to take action and connect with support.
