Thursday, April 11, 2024, 8 a.m. - John Bardo Center, Room 164, 1815 Innovation Blvd. 成人头条, KS 67208
In attendance were Laurie Labarca, Nancy McCarthy Snyder, Aaron Bastion, Kevin McWhorter, Keith Lawing, Connie Dietz, Junetta Everett, Tracee Adams. Dan Rouser joined by phone. Also in attendance were Andy Schlapp, Troy Bruun, Jeff DeGraffenreid and Susan Johnson.
Laurie Labarca called meeting to order at 8 a.m.
Dr. Shirley Lefever updated the board on the Shocker student success center remodel located in Cliton Hall. She shared that the goal of the center was to equalize the six-year graduation rate for all students, focusing on students who are most at risk first-generation, low income and underrepresented populations. The Shocker student success center will become the 鈥渙ne stop鈥 for student services. A question was asked about applied learning and its location on campus. The Career accelerator will be moving to the Marcus Welcome Center so new students can look at job opportunities while being admitted into the University. The board asked for a tour of both the student success center and the welcome Center when construction is completed.
Keith Lawing motioned to approve the minutes from January 25, 2024, seconded by Aron Bastion, motion passed.
Nancy McCarthy Snyder asked Troy Bruun to review the financial reports with the board. He reviewed the foundation investment report, infrastructure review, Fy 2024 budget to actual review, and the 10-year financial plan. Bruun then presented the FY2025 BOT budget for approval. Kevin McWhorter asked how priorities were determined with the City and County. Andy Schlapp gave a history of how we got to this point with priorities of Capital improvements and scholarships. Essentially the BOT budget is a 60-year living document that has changed with the needs of the community we serve. Currently capital improvements are around 34% of the budget and scholarships around 50% of budget and excess funds are directed to fund presidential priorities. Connie Dietz moved to approve FY 2025 budget, seconded by Junetta Everett, and motioned passed.
Andy Schlapp gave an update on what is happening at WSU. Much of the discussion focused on Students and how we can help grow the economy and provide the talent needed for the Kansas Workforce. Over 70% of WSU graduates take jobs in Kansas but more importantly 50% of students from outside of Kansas take jobs in Kansas when they graduate. The national average is around 20. The success of retaining our talent in Kansas through applied learning has been recognized by the State and they funded our program with an additional $5 million dollars.
The 成人头条 Biomedical Campus was funded at 205 million dollars. The groundbreaking will be May 8 at 11 a.m.. USD 259 will develop a future ready center for health care located in the Biomedical corridor.
The Hub for additive manufacturing and research building also received $16 million from the State added to the over $60 million from the Build Back Better Federal Grant. The project will break ground in June of this year. A question was asked if WSU was part of the Spirit Boeing Conversation. While we are not officially involved in the conversations, we are an interested party and are available to answer research and talent questions when asked.
Respectfully submitted,
Junetta Everett, Board Secretary

The Center has expanded its research, forecasting, database management and economic modeling to better serve business, industry, government, and non-profit groups throughout south-central Kansas.
