The renaming is the result of a partnership between Washburn University and Advisors Excel, a local business founded by Cody Foster and David Callanan, Washburn alumni. “Being able to renovate Henderson in a way where it is on par with some of the other business schools in the surrounding area … when you compare KU or K-State’s business schools to what Henderson looks like, they are significantly different,” Foster said. The renovation of Henderson is not just about updating a building, but instead creating a space that will support the future success of Washburn’s students and strengthen the connection with the Topeka community.
