Why applied learning?
Thanks to our location in Kansas' largest city, Shockers in every major can gain the
skills, connections and confidence needed for career success — before graduation —
with employers in virtually every industry.
Alex Haro is a senior studying graphic design at Wichita State.
He is a design intern in the Office of Strategic Communications.
RJ Clark is a graduate student at Wichita State and is one out of six WSU students
accepted last year into Stanford’s prestigious University Innovation Fellow (UIF)
program. UIF equips university students to effect change at the university and community
level.
As a pre-med student, RJ is using this experience with UIF to help combine medicine
and innovation to help research novel health care solutions and provide outreach to
parts of the world with weak health care systems.
RJ says he loves his experience with UIF. It has provided a new network of friends
and a new approach on how he sees the world and solves problems.
