Student Activities Council (SAC) is looking for students who are interested in learning more about event planning and those who want more of a say in what artists SAC brings to Wichita State.

Students can join the normal SAC member meetings at 4:15 p.m. every Tuesday in 233 RSC to become a full SAC member, or just attend the concert committee meetings from 5 to 6 p.m. every Tuesday in 238 RSC.

Joining this committee will take some commitment, and it will need volunteering throughout the planning process until the concert date as well as planning ahead for future events the following semester.

The Tornado Alley Press is having a print sale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 in the RSC. There will be multiple prints by different artists.

If you are interested in meeting guild members and getting more information, check out our table! Support student artists and the printmaking guild. Cards and cash are accepted.

Are you interested in joining? We are always accepting new members.

SAC, Student Activities Council, will be hosting the Destress Fest from Dec. 5-8. At this moment we are open to receive submissions from departments and organizations who would like to host any relaxing, decompressing, and unwinding events for Wichita State students to participate in before final examination week. The deadline to submit events is Nov. 18.

There are just a few days left of Shocktoberfest 2022 — a campus tradition that’s 32 years strong.

Highlights include Shocker Madness on Thursday at Koch Arena, Fright Night on Friday and Heskett Center and the marquee event: Songfest on Sunday at the Wichita Orpheum Theatre.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. will be hosting its third annual Jersey Jam on Nov. 4 in the RSC Ballroom. Doors will open at 10:06 p.m., and all revenue will go toward the preservation and strengthening of WSU’s oldest fraternity.

For tickets, email Devin Moore at dwmoore3@shockers.wichita.edu or  Zach James at zejames@shockers.wichita.edu.

Tickets are $12 for general admission without a jersey, $10 for general admission with a jersey, $7 for presale, and $5 for Greek admission. All guests must be 18 years or older with valid photo identification. No weapons, backpacks, purses, containers or outside food or drink will be allowed into this event.

Experience the entire month-long celebration as students return to campus to begin the fall 2022 semester.

Welcomefest takes place during the first four weeks of each semester and features dozens of activities. Popular programs awaiting new and returning Shockers include Clash of the Colleges and Involvement Fair.

Hosted by various student groups and campus departments, most events are free and give all students a chance to get acquainted with each other, learn their way around campus, and find ways to connect with the community.

Hear from our International Buddy Program participants about their experiences in the program. Featured is Nicole Bloomquist, who was paired with exchange students from Paraguay and Spain. Visit www.wichita.edu/studyabroadspotlights to read more about her experience and others.

Participate in the newly established Wichita State Business Club Internationale 4-5 p.m. Thursday May 12 at 264 Rhatigan Student Center. During the meeting, the club will decide vote on their executive council. The club has been established to help students learn more about American culture, to help students who have an interest in business meet one another, to make new friends, to learn to run a business, and show how diversity impacts our interaction with our peers.

Wichita State’s Student Involvement is now Student Engagement, Advocacy & Leadership (SEAL). SEAL will facilitate an engaged campus culture where students are empowered to maximize their potential by creating opportunities for personal growth and real world-readiness. Please help students be aware of this change.

Like Student Involvement, SEAL will be committed to providing opportunities for students to engage in co-curricular and extracurricular experiences that enhance their collegiate experience at Wichita State. SEAL will also work directly with civic engagement, fraternity and sorority life, leadership, national student exchange and student organizations while providing administrative support to the Student Government Association.
