In 1895, 30 men and women comprised the first class of Fairmount College in Wichita. They, along with the faculty and founders of this college, served as the firm foundation from which the University of Wichita emerged, and now, Wichita State University. The Society of 1895 draws its name from this proud legacy and honors those alumni and friends who have included a gift to Wichita State in their estate plans.
Members of the Society of 1895 are invited to an exclusive, annual luncheon. This year’s Society of 1895 luncheon has been moved to the fall of 2020. (Attendance by invitation only)
