Society of 1895

In 1895, the first class, faculty and founders of Fairmount College laid the foundation for what is now Wichita State University today. Our Society of 1895 draws its name from this proud legacy and honors our alumni and friends who have included a gift to Wichita State in their estate plans.

We acknowledge the generous intentions of those who will have a lasting contribution and make a real difference in the lives of Wichita State University Shockers and their families.

Planned gift options include:

Bequest in your will benefitting our organization
Naming Wichita State University Foundation as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA or other investment
Charitable Remainder Trust, Unitrust, Annuity Trust or a Living Trust

. Members of the Society of 1895 are also invited to an exclusive annual luncheon and donor celebrations throughout the year.
