About D. Cramer Reed
In 1970 Dr. D. Cramer Reed was named founding dean of the College of Health Professions
at Wichita State University. During his time at WSU he led many university and community
involvement efforts while serving as clinical professor of health education. At WSU
he was a distinguished alumni, recipient of the WSU Alumni Achievement Award, member

The Reeds also established a scholarship/fellowship for students in the College of Health Professions, an endowed fund for department support and provided start-up funding for the new Leadership Academy within the College. The D. Cramer Reed Lecture hall exists in Ahlberg Hall, home of College of Health Professions, in honor of this leader.
