Joint statement from Wichita State President Dr. Jay Golden and WSU Tech President Dr. Sheree Utash

Earlier today, WSU Tech announced that Ivanka Trump, advisor to President Donald Trump, is a planned speaker at the college’s virtual commencement this weekend.

The WSU Tech commencement plans have been refocused more centrally on students – student voices in particular. Rebecca Zinabu, WSU Tech practical nursing graduate, will now be the only commencement speaker during the ceremony.

 Following the ceremony, WSU Tech graduates will have the option to hear prerecorded congratulatory messages from more than 30 speakers.
