Wichita State markets itself with new growth push
Wichita State University accelerates enrollment efforts with three satellite centers and a $14 million dormitory expansion. The centennial school seeks to reverse a four year decline by recruiting traditional and nontraditional students nationwide while boosting campus safety and accessibility. Enrollment rose by 10 to 14,568 this semester, but leaders warn this is not a trend. They plan to diversify beyond south central Kansas, visiting high schools and community colleges, including a Kansas City area outreach involving 30 schools. University aims to reduce reliance on local students and promote Wichita as Kansas’ only metropolitan university.
