President's Award for Excellence

In 1998, the Office of Residence Services (ORS), received the Collaborative Units Award along with Computing and Telecommunications Services (CaTS) for the ResNet project.  This six-month project involved the installation of campus network and Internet connectivity in every room in the campus residence.  This involved the installation of over 2200 locations.  All students now living in campus housing now can connect their personal computers to the Internet and gain access to electronic mail, www browsing and much more.

In 2003, the Office of Residence Services (ORS), received yet another President's Award for Collaborative Units along with many other departments listed on the award involved with Student Affairs. This award was presented for the collaborative effort given in the construction and opening of the Union Market located in the Student Union. This was a two year project that involved shutting down a part of the Student Union an entire school year for the renovations. Now students have access to a cafeteria style dining along with the Cyber Cafe and the Wright Cup coffee stand.

Residence Services is proud of all of its employees and continues to strive to work with all groups on campus to enhance the educational experience for Wright State students.
