Wichita State University's Wu Crew

Many Wichita State faculty, staff, students and alum are involved in community service projects. The Wu Crew is Shocker faculty and staff serving the Wichita community through personal projects and group projects. WSU faculty and staff that volunteer their time on various projects that serve the community can be a part of the Wu Crew.

In September of 2021, the Office of Engagement and the WU Crew announce the literacy effort, "WU Crew Reads Program Kickoff at Gordon Parks Academy".  Watch the video here to learn more.

WU Crew History

Wu Crew started out as a group of Shocker students, faculty and staff serving the Wichita community through personal projects and group projects. As far back as 2011, the WU Crew was out in the community providing service to Wichita area businesses, organizations, neighborhoods and schools. Volunteer opportunities were shared with the WU Crew members and they had the option to sign up if they were available. We are grateful for to the pioneers of Wichita State's Wu Crew service engagement efforts.  Over the years several locations were served through WU Crew volunteers.  A handful of them are found below.
