WICHITA— Wichita State University President John Bardo responded to questions about his health on social media Tuesday morning.

 

I’m in good spirits and continuing to work with members of the Executive Team on university issues. I’m looking forward to being back on campus and seeing you in the new year. Best, John (2 of 2)
