Welcome our new staff members to the team
Ted Kimble
We are excited to welcome Ted Kimble to his role as associate vice president of development for the WSU Foundation and Alumni Engagement! Ted comes to us most recently from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he worked as development director for the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute. Holding a bachelor’s degree in political science from Wichita State, Ted is a proud Shocker alum. After graduating, he worked as a development director for the WSU Foundation and is happy to return to his alma mater after nearly 30 years.
Outside of work, Ted tries to spend time in the great outdoors: hiking, fishing, stargazing and anything that involves being in the mountains. He is a husband, father and grandfather.
Welcome (back), Ted!
