CHP 50th Anniversary

The College of Health Professions is celebrating its 50th anniversary at Wichita State University. Since our founding in 1970, the college has been highly renowned for its innovative approaches to education and supplying the health care industry with skilled, passionate professionals.

Ahlberg Hall 40th Anniversary

2020 also marks the 40th anniversary of Ahlberg Hall. The five-story building opened its doors to Wichita State students and faculty on Oct. 31, 1980. Originally named the Health Sciences Building, the building was dedicated as Ahlberg Hall on Oct. 18, 1984, named for former Wichita State president Clark D. Ahlberg and his wife Rowena Osborn Ahlberg. The building houses many programs, classrooms, offices, clinics and laboratories in the College of Health Professions.

Wichita State celebrates 125th anniversary

In September 1895, Fairmount College, the forerunner of Wichita State University, held its first classes just northeast of 17th Street and Hillside.
