Thousands of students attend campus celebration

Fall Fest, the annual celebration that highlights Raider Weeks at Wright State, brought students, staff and faculty together for a day of fun, music, food and free goodies.

The Aug. 27 event gave students a chance to meet student leaders and learn more about student organizations, educational opportunities at Wright State and services offered by different campus departments.

Organized by the University Activities Board, Fall Fest attracted about 5,000 people and 115 student organizations and vendors.

“We have been navigating COVID, we’ve been in quarantine for 18 months now,” said Jeffrey Shehee, University Activities Board president. “It’s really like heartwarming to see that our students are enjoying what we have here today.”
