ABOUT THE EFC The Wichita State University Environmental Finance Center was established in 2010, to build on the Hugo Wall School of Public Affairs' 50-year history of providing quality financial and managerial support to local governments. The EFC expanded the School’s reach outside the boundaries of Kansas and concentrates services on environmental issues in the Midwest. The WSU EFC is part of the nationwide Environmental Finance Center Network established by EPA to help address funding challenges communities face as they plan and implement environmental projects and programs that help improve the quality of life for everyone. Our work often intersects with the research of faculty at the Hugo Wall School of Public Affairs. Over the years, faculty have contributed to many of our projects. We look forward to continuing to learn and engage with Hugo Wall staff, faculty, and students.
