We're #1! 🤘🐺 The social mobility ranking is based on the number of years to pay off the net price of college, the extent to which a university boosts its graduates’ salaries, and the graduation rates of students receiving Pell Grants.

“A college degree shouldn’t equate to a lifetime of debt. Instead, it should change the trajectory of a student’s life." - President Edwards

We've got our eyes on the... tassel. 🎓🤩 Don't forget seniors - tomorrow is the deadline to apply to walk in any of our fall graduation ceremonies!

"I've worked at Wright State since 1995, and I couldn't be prouder of my daughter, Katie Kendrick, as she begins her freshman year living on campus. From the smooth move-in process, to the Friday cookout, and all the incredible experiences she’s shared with me from this week, it’s clear she’s already making so many new friends and having a great time. I can’t wait to watch her thrive at Wright State." - David Kendrick, WSU Facilities IT Manager
