The Newman University “Party on the Plaza – Oktoberfest 2011” raised more than $94,000 to support student scholarships at the university. 

Close to 500 people came to the Newman campus Sept. 24 to enjoy German food and drink served by Newman students in traditional Tyrolean garb, the tapping of the first keg by Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer and Newman President Noreen M. Carrocci, Ph.D., live music and other activities. Funds were raised through sponsorships, ticket sales and live and silent auctions.

Newman officials are already planning for the next Oktoberfest, slated for Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012. Watch for more details in future issues of Challenge and at www.newmanu.edu. Anyone who would like to participate on the planning committee can contact Sarah Cundiff at 316-942-4291, ext. 2166 or [email protected].
