The Shocker Career Accelerator is collecting Post Graduation Outcomes (PGO) for all undergraduate and graduate students who plan to graduate in fall 2024. Previously called the First Destination Survey, post-graduation outcomes collected via Shocker Central provide insights into recent graduates’ employment status, further education and other career-related activities. The information collected provides clear, concise and consistent data on the outcomes associated with a college education on a national scale.

Outcomes include:

• Types of employment — full or part-time, contract, freelance, other
• Additional education, e.g. accepted to graduate or professional school
• Still seeking either employment, further education or military
• Starting salary for those employed full-time

How can you contribute to the success of collecting post-graduation outcomes? 

• Encourage your graduating students to take this short (three to five minutes) survey
• See below for example marketing text you can email to your fall 2024 graduates or add to your classroom Blackboard

A doctoral candidate in the Department of Intervention Services and Leadership in Education (ISLE) is conducting a study regarding perceived supportive relationships across the higher education setting. The research is under the supervision of dissertation chair, Dr. Jason Herron.

The study, “Examining Perceived Supportive Relationships Across the Higher Education Setting,” seeks to explore and understand the nature of supportive relationships among undergraduate students within the context of higher education.

As part of the study, researchers are seeking undergraduate students to participate in a 15-minute survey. Their insights and perspectives are crucial to the success of the research. At the beginning of the survey, you will be provided more information about the study and be asked to provide your consent.

At Wichita State, our most important resource is our people. Our vision is to support and empower those who serve WSU by creating a meaningful employment relationship. To achieve this, we are engaging our WSU community to gain input on revising the performance management process for staff at WSU.

We started our revision of talent management in 2023 focused on hiring and onboarding. We are excited that our new WuHire talent system will go live on Oct. 7. With this milestone, we are ready to start focusing on the second phase: performance management — an ongoing process between a leader and an employee that occurs throughout the year to ensure alignment, engagement and continual development.

We will start the performance management revision in 2025 and will focus on our non-teaching staff.

As we begin planning, we want to ensure we have diverse perspectives and understand what our leaders and staff consider priorities in performance management. We have prepared a Performance Management Survey to gather your input and ideas. Your feedback is invaluable as we work towards creating a performance management process that helps employees reach their potential and helps leaders retain talent.

We ask that you complete the brief Performance Management Survey no later than Friday, Oct. 4.

We look forward to your feedback as we prepare for performance management revisioning and work together towards achieving employee success.

Wichita State University is developing a Campus Cyberinfrastructure Master Plan to enhance computing, data, and software resources critical to supporting research and education. This initiative aims to interconnect campus research labs, create a shared research storage system and establish a regional computing system. The plan will address the growing computational, data and software needs of the university, while promoting interdisciplinary collaborations and supporting innovative research. As part of this effort, we are conducting a survey to better understand the current and future computing, data, and software needs of faculty, researchers, and students across diverse departments. The feedback collected will help shape strategic decisions to ensure that WSU’s infrastructure is flexible, scalable, and sustainable. Your input is crucial for tailoring resources to meet the university’s evolving demands and for fostering a collaborative research environment.

Please complete this survey by Sept. 25.
