Black Alumni Create Scholarship at Wichita State University

Recently, black students who graduated from Wichita State University in Kansas between the years of 1964 and 1974 held a reunion on campus. The reunion attendees established a scholarship to honor Vashti Lewis, one of the first black women faculty members at the university.

Today, Wichita State University has a student body that is 7 percent black.
