Thank you for helping us Shock the World.

We wish we could personally thank everyone who donated to the the Shock the World campaign. Your loyalty, generosity and spirit catapulted our total fundraising to $307.8 million — way beyond the campaign’s goal of $250 million. Every dollar raised helps secure the future of Wichita State University. Every donation gives our students a more valuable college experience. Every investment helps guarantee Wichita State is able to contribute to our region’s economic growth and the betterment of our world. This page reveals the ways in which the seven-year campaign will have a lasting impact on Wichita State.

To our Shocker community,
When the Shock the World Campaign started seven years ago, we had big dreams.
To INCREASE scholarships substantially, with a focus on need-based aid.
To BUILD a new home for the W. Frank Barton School of Business.
To UPGRADE our athletic facilities and better support student-athletes.
To ENHANCE programs that bring distinction to our university, such as the Dorothy and Bill Cohen Honors College. And … YOU DID IT! From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
