Adult learners share their Shocker Stories
Adult learners at Wichita State often have a poignant reason for finishing a degree. It typically comes with a story, including how they were unable to either attend college after high school, or why they had to give up their journey to college before they graduated.
The Office of Adult Learning gets the privilege of helping those students and hearing their stories. Many adult learners are grateful for the staff and faculty who encourage and empower them along the way. The Office of Adult Learning created Shocker Stories to not only share their stories, but to highlight the impact staff and faculty have on students. View Shocker Stories.
If you know of an adult learner who has an interesting story, invite them to call Pamela O’Neal at 978-8313 or email pamela.oneal@wichita.edu. Shocker Stories will be updated throughout the semester.
