A new pathway for alumni fans
Wichita State Athletics will unveil the Shocker GOLD Alumni Network on May 28, a program designed to bring recent graduates back into the basketball fold. The initiative targets alumni who have earned their degrees within the last ten years, offering them a direct line to campus life and the excitement of game day at Charles Koch Arena.
Two membership tiers structure the experience. Tier one grants up to four discounted season tickets in sections 125 and 126, along with ten annual priority points, two $25 concession gift cards, and the option to purchase a reduced‑price green‑lot parking pass. Tier two provides discounted upper‑bowl season tickets and the same two $25 concession gift cards, while still allowing access to the same networking events.
Perks and referral incentives
All members receive two $25 concession gift cards, and alumni who refer eligible peers can earn additional benefits. The network also hosts an annual GOLD Alumni networking event, fostering connections among recent graduates and longtime supporters.
Beyond the tangible perks, the program reflects Wichita State Athletics’ broader strategy to deepen post‑graduation engagement. By making Shocker Men’s Basketball more accessible, the university hopes to cultivate a loyal fan base that continues to support the institution long after they leave campus.
