Wichita State's Innovation Campus recently turned 10 years old. And school president Rick Muma wrote a book to commemorate that milestone titled: "Student Centered, Innovation Driven: A guide to transforming higher education." Muma talked with KMUW news director Tom Shine about what parents and students want from higher education today, lessons he learned about communication as the Innovation Campus was built, and whether the biomedical campus downtown would have happened without the success of the Innovation Campus.
