Our team connects industry partners with the brightest minds at Wichita State University. Our goal is to help you uncover challenges and assemble the best team to get the results you need. Working with Wichita State means you have a partner. And as your partner, we know your business isn’t like any other. That’s why we are proud to offer so many ways to work together. From research and student talent to philanthropic opportunities and workforce development, Wichita State has the tools to build a relationship that is meaningful and one of a kind.
Your relationship with your employees is valuable and developing your existing workforce is often a smart strategic move.
Last year, Wichita State conducted more than $136 million worth of research. Our 34 centers and institutes have partnered with local, regional and national entities to conduct ground-breaking research, and we are ready to partner with you.
As Kansas’ Innovation University, we love nothing more than bringing all our partners together – students, faculty and industry – to make something that changes the world.
Our students leave Wichita State prepared and eager to make change in the world. When you partner with us in our talent pipeline, you gain unique access to more than 15,000 students.
Strategic gifts to Wichita State are the best way to get your name in front of our students and your future talent. This is how it can work for both of us:

As the Innovation Campus takes shape, now is an opportune time to collaborate with Wichita State University. By moving onto our Innovation Campus, private enterprises can draw on the technical expertise of WSU faculty and researchers to develop innovative solutions to spur growth and productivity. By engaging students, you’ll be developing your future workforce pipeline. Providing experiential learning opportunities through internships and hands-on research projects strengthens the connection between our students and our partnering companies.
When companies like Evergy support Wichita State, everyone wins. Together, WSU and Evergy are creating a talent pipeline with students prepared to problem solve, innovate and lead. Partnerships like these have the power to transform our region – and your company – for the better.
