Wichita State Foundation raises more than $1M for Koch Global Trading Center
A Wichita State University representative snapped a picture Wednesday of the newly installed sign denoting the future home of the Koch Global Trading Center. Elizabeth King, president and CEO of the WSU Foundation, shared the photo with the Wichita Business Journal.
The Wichita State University Foundation[4] has raised more than $1 million for the creation and endowment of the Koch Global Trading Center.
Elizabeth King[5], president and CEO of the Foundation, tells me that the entire amount raised was through private donations.
The center, which is being built in the W. Frank Barton School of Business inside WSU’s Clinton Hall, is being created as a way for students to learn about financial and commodities trading.
Koch Industries[6] Inc. donated $346,000 last summer[7] to help launch the center. In January, the WSU Foundation announced that Cargill Meat Solutions[8] Corp. would contribute $120,000 toward the project[9].
On Wednesday, a sign denoting the future home of the Koch Global Trading Center was hung in Clinton Hall.
The center is expected to be completed this summer.
