Student Involvement and Leadership recognizes the unique needs and challenges of commuter students and advocates on their behalf. We partner with campus partners such as Residence Life and Housing, Hospitality Services, Public Safety, and Parking and Transportation to provide you with a positive and memorable student experience.
Wright State’s campus is like a small city—there is always something going on, and we encourage you to be part of the action. You will find convenient parking and a variety of resources to help you get to and around campus. Come early, stay late, and make the most of your time on campus.
Want to save money on the cost of your commute? Consider carpooling with friends and roommates. Listen to the campus radio station, WWSU 106.9FM, on the way to campus and grab breakfast at one of our many dining options.
