Make A Lasting Impact On The Future

Wayne and Kay Woolsey Hall, New Home of the W. Frank Barton School of Business

Help inspire future generations of business leaders

When the new home for the Barton School of Business opens in 2022, it will deliver on Wichita State’s vision to create a learning environment where education, industry and innovation converge. Wayne and Kay Woolsey provided a lead gift to the WSU Foundation’s fundraising campaign for the new facility and dozens of alumni and friends have also contributed to provide a top-tier business school for Wichita State. This $60 million investment will give WSU students an edge on the competition when they graduate and enter the labor market. We hope the once-in-a-lifetime naming opportunities below will inspire you to join the WSU Foundation’s campaign to raise $35 million in private funds, with more than $30 million already committed.
