Explore Wright State Day welcomes hundreds to campus

Hundreds of future students and their families visited Wright State University’s Dayton Campus for Explore Wright State Day on Oct. 24, connecting with faculty and current students while learning why it’s a great time to be a Raider. 

Explore Wright State Day was open to any student interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Wright State. 

“It’s good,” said Hailey Craine, a senior at Geneva High School near Cleveland. “It’s definitely my number one.” 

The event gave future students, including transfer students, a firsthand look at what it is like to be a Wright State student 

“I think there’s a lot of energy that we are building here,” said Connor Algren, associate director of admissions and campus visits. “That word is getting spread back out into the communities, and people are interested in what is going on at Wright State, and people are wanting to check it out for themselves.” 

Visitors toured campus, learned about academic programs, explored housing options and discovered the many resources available to help students succeed. 

Students and families also received information about financial aid and scholarship opportunities, including the Wright Tuition Guarantee Program, which locks in the same annual cost of tuition, housing and dining over a four-year college career for newly admitted, degree-seeking undergraduate students who are Ohio residents.
