Wichita State University employees who reach a State of Kansas service milestone are honored at an event hosted by the University.

Bender of Twigs was conceived in 1951 by then University of Wichita President Harry Corbin (1949-1963), his assistant Kathryn Griffith and English professor Bill Nelson. This unique designation is bestowed upon employees who have served 25 years of service to Wichita State University.
