Established in 1913, the WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION coalesced around a dedicated group of
alumni led by Harry Shuler for the purpose of creating
a Shocker community of university supporters. In
tandem, the WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION, which
was founded in 1965, has championed private support
to advance the mission and vision of the university.
With a combined 176 years of experience, the two

FOUNDATION AND ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT, optimizing support
of Shocker Nation through combined philanthropy and
alumni engagement efforts.
