The Wright State Parents’ Association & Wright State Friends of the Libraries recently honored six graduating seniors as the Top Scholars for their colleges. The students are selected by the dean of their college based on high academic achievement.

The Top Scholars program has been in existence since 1995. The Wright State Parents’ Association purchases a book in each scholar’s name in their subject area for addition to the University Libraries’ collections. Each Top Scholar is named on a bookplate and in the online catalog record for their book.
