For years, this publication was a place to celebrate the excellence, creativity and dedication of Wichita State faculty and staff. From groundbreaking research to innovative teaching, Academe has been a platform to highlight the accomplishments that make our university stronger.
The tradition began in the early 2000s and carried forward for nearly two decades. When the newsletter ended in 2020, it left a gap in how we shared and recognized the remarkable work of our colleagues. Many of you told us you missed it, and we heard you.
We’re bringing Academe back because your work is so valuable, and we want to share it. This newsletter reflects our community’s shared pride in each other’s success, and it’s one of the ways we can spotlight the impact you’re making every day.
Its return also aligns with the broader efforts of the Provost’s Office to support faculty endeavors. The recent restructuring of our office has been designed to strengthen resources, foster collaboration and ensure faculty and staff have the support needed to thrive in their teaching, research and service.
With this relaunch, we invite you to read, share and celebrate alongside us. Academe is a reminder that, together, our collective achievements are shaping the future of Wichita State.
