Inauguration Week Events

President Muma is excited to share Inauguration Week with so many wonderful student, faculty, staff and community events happening at Wichita State. Highlights include Shocker Homecoming, the 50th reunion of the Class of 1971, a WSU Symphony concert and a celebration of some of our fantastic Shocker employees at the Service Recognition ceremonies.

The week will culminate on Friday, Oct. 29 where the public is invited to the Inauguration Ceremony of Richard D. Muma, as the 15th President of Wichita State University.

We hope that you will be able to join us and enjoy all that Wichita State has to offer!
