After five months with Wichita State, Director of Athletics Kevin Saal said he is looking to give student-athletes the best experiences possible by emphasizing the importance of academics in each athletic program.
During the Faculty Senate meeting on Nov. 28, Saal discussed who the Shockers are through balance of academics and athletics.
“Our core values we talk a lot about,” Saal said. “It’s really who we are and it’s the lens through which we make decisions. Character, integrity, knowledge, and stewardship.”
Currently WSU has over 250 student-athletes, from 30 states and 24 countries. Over 50% of this population are first generation students.
