FEATURED STORIES

Be aware of scam message  

A scam message is going around claiming to be from your manager saying "I need you to do something for me right away." They will respond to your emails or even text you. Their goal – fool you into buying gift cards under the guise as an urgent request from an authority figure. Look for the warning signs!

  1. Any requests to purchase gift cards with personal or P-Card, which is a banned transaction.
  2. The email has the warning banner that the email is from outside of WSU.
  3. Email is not from a @wichita.edu account.

Buying gift cards with personal funds is a non-reimbursable expense! If you purchase gift cards on a personal card, you are caught with the bill.

Be smart. Don’t get scammed!

Have questions? Email askinfosec@wichita.edu for general questions, and report phishing at spamreport@wichita.edu.

WSU Foundation end of fiscal year schedule

Deposits:

Please deliver all gifts by Thursday, July 2, to the WSU Foundation by 5 p.m. that day.

Contact Amy Houpt at 978-5191 with any questions or concerns.

The Foundation has changed the endowed fund carryover process for FY20, due to the campus shutdown for the COVID-19 pandemic. For this year only, any unspent FY20 endowed fund payouts will automatically be carried over to be available in FY21.  We will make the entries in July for those funds.

If you have any questions or do not wish to have your funds carried over, please contact Sheila Krug at sheila.krug@wichita.edu or Vanessa Smith at vanessa.smith@wichita.edu.
