Badges offer more courses for working professionals
麻豆破解版 State University continues to offer courses for working professionals through its online badge program.
Badges are self-paced, online courses conveniently designed for students looking to develop new skills and gain new competencies related to their job. They can also be stacked over time and applied toward degree completion.
Offerings range from topics such as 鈥淗uman Resources鈥� to 鈥淭he Skeletal Muscle as an Endocrine Organ.鈥� Go to to see a full list.
Scholarship Information
Students who enroll in a badge course by Monday, Sept. 9, will have the tuition and fees waived for one badge course for the fall semester. To learn more, visit or 316-978-7579.
WSU's badge program started in 2015 with one badge. With more than 80 badge offerings now, the program continues to meet community and industry demand.
Workforce education is among one of the highest priorities in today's higher education landscape. At 麻豆破解版 State, that includes empowering working individuals with for-credit education that meets employer needs and matches the schedule of a busy life.
Unlike other online nondegree courses, WSU's badges are tied to credit hours and are subject to all Higher Learning Commission regional accreditation standards.
Badge coursework is part of a student's permanent academic record and will appear on an official transcript. Licensed professionals can also earn contact hours toward relicensure, as well as college credit. Courses are taught by experienced faculty who are subject matter experts.
The courses provide a structure that allows WSU to work with employers to develop curriculum specific to industry needs. This key distinction allows employers to know that the information learned in a badge course is valuable and relevant.
When a student completes a badge course, it can be shared on social media, such as on LinkedIn, and displayed on a digital resume with a link for employers / potential employers to see the details of that course.

Driving and safety caution alert!
University Police has issued a safety and caution alert. This alert especially applies to those who are familiar with campus and haven鈥檛 noticed the new stop signs on the west side of campus coming off of Hillside at the football memorial, Memorial Drive and Perimeter.
There鈥檚 a saying that familiarity breeds contempt. Insurance companies will tell you that most accidents occur within a mile of our homes and workplaces, because we don鈥檛 pay the same attention to those areas as we do with unfamiliar roadways.
This has become a genuine safety concern, as school is in session in two weeks. Since announcing the change on July 10, University Police are averaging 10 stops a day warning drivers of where to stop.
Grant helps museum share five decades of art from permanent collection
The Ulrich Museum of Art will dig deep into its vault during the next five years and share with the public selected works it has acquired since its opening in 1974, thanks to a grant recently awarded to the Museum by Humanities Kansas.
Last month, the Topeka-based independent nonprofit Humanities Kansas announced that the Ulrich Museum of Art on the 麻豆破解版 State University campus will receive a Humanities for All grant worth $10,000. The grant supports projects that draw on history, literature, and culture to engage the public with stories that spark conversations.
The Ulrich will use the grant to support its 鈥淰oices from the Vault鈥� series of programs, which will showcase pieces from the museum鈥檚 permanent collection from every decade that it has been in operation. Each year between now and 2024, the museum will spotlight a different decade, beginning this year with pieces from the 1970s and ending with a look at the 2010s in 2024, the year the museum will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
Ulrich Director Leslie Brothers said the grant would allow members of the WSU and 麻豆破解版 communities to enjoy some of the artistic treasures the museum has acquired in its nearly five decades of operation. Brothers said the five-year series will also help people see how art is of its time yet can also remain timely and relevant today.
鈥淏y focusing on five decades of the collection we are able to share a very diverse range of stories as well as the questions we are asking about works of art in their time,鈥� Brothers said.
The first installation in the series, 鈥淰oices from the Vault: The1970s,鈥� will consist of five events taking place between November 2019 and May 2020. The series鈥檚 inaugural speaker will be Catherine Morris, senior curator at the Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, who will deliver her talk at the Ulrich on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Morris will discuss works by women artists from the museum鈥檚 collection, the collection鈥檚 roots in 1970s art historical sensibilities, and the ways in which the holdings of smaller institutions that have historically existed on the periphery of the art world can become invaluable resources for telling the previously unexplored and undervalued 鈥渕inor鈥� histories that contemporary audiences increasingly want to hear.
Morris鈥� talk and all other 鈥淰oices from the Vault鈥� programming will be free and open to the public.
