WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today released the following statement after Dr. Richard Muma was officially selected to be the 15th President of Wichita State University:

“President Muma is a Wichita native and brings years of experience to Wichita State University. Through Robba’s work on the Kansas Board of Regents, I have had the opportunity to get to know Dr. Muma and am confident he understands the innovative mission of WSU. He recognizes that it is more than just a school – it is part of the community, and a place to foster innovation, growth and development. I look forward to working with President Muma to continue building on WSU’s success and to bring new opportunities and talent to the university.”
