Study Abroad updates: COVID-19
All university-sponsored international travel is discontinued at this time for all students, staff and faculty, which includes Study Abroad programs per the university announcement last week. The university has decided to make these changes in an abundance of caution. Although university offices will be open during this time, we are making some changes that will impact the services we normally provide in the Garvey International Center for the area of Study Abroad.

WSU psychology student focuses on mental health stigmas in minorities
She’s a dreamer, full of ambition and passionate with a goal to change the world. A lofty task, some might say, but for her, she understands if “not her, then who?”
Inneke Vargas, a senior studying psychology with a minor in criminal justice, returned to Wichita State University after working in various industries. During her time outside of school, she worked at Via Christi, Cox Communications and Koch Industries, just to name a few. Her experiences narrowed down her desire, eliminated career paths and opened the doors to return back to school.
Read complete story on Vargas.
