Welcome, Class of 2017!
Attend Orientation and be entered into a drawing for one of three NOOK Tablets that will be given away at the beginning of fall semester!
Here's the deal: we're not going to waste your time.
We don't want to overwhelm you with never-ending to-do lists so we've created a simple checklist that you need to accomplish before starting classes. Use the list at the right to explore the checklist and prepare to bound for success at Wright State University.
Be sure to check back as we continue to make updates in order to make your transition to Wright State seamless and fun.
Good luck, have fun, and we can't wait to see you on campus.

2013 Orientation Dates
Note: Not all dates will appear when you register. Once a session is full, it will no longer appear on your registration. It is important that you attend Orientation as early as possible—you will confirm your Fall Semester classes at Orientation, and classes fill on a first-come, first-served basis. You and your guests should plan to arrive approximately 30 minutes before your Orientation session is scheduled to begin. Please bring comfortable shoes.
Dates, times, and locations are subject to change. Your Orientation Registration Confirmation will be sent to your Wright State University email account. Please refer to your registration confirmation for the most up-to-date information regarding your Orientation session.

Common Text Program
The Common Text Program is an essential piece of your First Year Experience at Wright State. Discussed during your first year as part of your Learning Community and other courses, the Common Text will allow you to gain a better understanding of what it means to read actively and critically, make judgments about the validity of what you read, and discuss challenging, sometimes conflicting, ideas.
2013 Common Text Selection: 
The Other Wes Moore
One Name, Two Fates
By Wes Moore
Two kids with the same name, living in the same city. One grew up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison for felony murder. Here is the story of two boys and the journey of a generation.
Students will receive a copy of the Common Text at Orientation
