IX. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
- University Update
Dr. Goldenberg highlighted three areas of success that reflect extraordinary work of the faculty, staff and the students of Wright State.
- Wright State was the school of choice among the Miami Valley’s brightest students. Nearly one-third of the valedictorians featured in a recent Dayton Daily News survey chose Wright State, more than any other school in the nation.
- We showed a 30% increase in externally funded research to $45.3 million and multi-year awards amounted to $101 million.
- We have had the largest number of major endowments in our 33-year history including naming opportunities of colleges, student scholarships, three scholarly chairs, and major corporate sponsors.
The successes of the past year are a tribute to the hard work of everyone at the university and the support of the community. Plans for the upcoming year include:
- Twelve hundred students will be part of a new program of learning communities.
- Continuous quality improvement of student services will be assessed.
- The quiet phase of Wright State’s first capital campaign will be completed and a goal will be set.
- Wright State will be a leader in the development of the next biennial budget and will participate vigorously over the next 9 months in that process.
- And finally, the goals of the Diversity Advisory Committee will be implemented and we will continue to lead in the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity among universities and colleges.
- Fall Enrollment
Report
Dr. Goldenberg reported that the headcount is down slightly by 1.9%. The credit hours are slightly up by a few tenths of a point. The freshmen class increased by 3.9% with an average GPA of 3.0. Valedictorians and salutatorians are up from 117 to 169, a 44% increase over last year.
