BSDA is full of wonderful members who make our organization thrive. In the Spring
of 2016, the Executive Council chose to begin honoring the Ambassadors who went above
and beyond in their service to the Dean's Office and Wichita State as a whole. The
Executive Council later expanded the awards to include two semesterly awards and one
annual award.
