Wright State University was founded on the strength of the support generously given by leaders in business, government and community organizations throughout the region and the state.
Through the decades of Wright State's growth, businesses and government agencies have formed partnerships with the university and benefited from the mutual sharing of resources, while foundations and charitable organizations have invested in the value of Wright State and its students. Those investments have paid off in the increasing numbers of highly qualified graduates who live and work in Raider Country and around the world.
