Wright State Will Become Tobacco Free July 1

The new tobacco-free policy will help promote a healthy environment in which our students, faculty, staff, and visitors can learn, work, and live. Learn how this policy will benefit our university, our health, and our future.

Celebrating 50 Years

In 1967, when enrollment reached 5,704 students, the Dayton Campus of Miami University and Ohio State University ceased to exist, and the newly independent Wright State University came into being. Join us throughout 2017 as we celebrate our history and look forward to the future.

University's First Female President

Cheryl B. Schrader, Ph.D., chancellor of Missouri University of Science and Technology, was introduced to the Wright State University community March 6. Dr. Schrader will officially take office July 1.

We See the Potential in You

The Wright brothers were not pilots. They were dreamers and inventors. Through their persistence they taught the world to fly. Named after these pioneers, we carry on their desire to build, create, and pioneer. What does it mean to be a pioneer? Find out here.
