LINK(ED) is now ‘The Fuse'

 

The Fuse


With the College of Education becoming the College of Applied Studies, LINK(ED) saw an opportunity to also change its focus. LINK(ED) is now “The Fuse.”

The Fuse will be the hub for the College of Applied Studies intended to not only facilitate and promote collaboration between the college and the community through service learning, but to ultimately seek inclusion opportunities for those on and off campus. For more information on The Fuse, visit https://unscriptedmovement.wixsite.com/thefuse or contact Director Bobby Berry at bobby.berry@wichita.edu.
