Endowed Scholarships Planned by Wichita State Foundation
Talaty, a 86 year old Wichita native and longtime WSU professor who joined the faculty in 1969, died in June in Wichita. The Wichita Eagle notes a donation linked to his estate, described by executor James Rhatigan as possibly the largest ever from a current or former WSU faculty or staff member, funding chemistry fellowships and a teaching research position. Talaty authored nearly 100 scientific publications and was named the Carnegie Foundation Kansas Professor of the Year in 1999.
