Alumni College

Announcing a new program at Wright State:  ALUMNI COLLEGE

The weekend of August 3 & 4, 2013 will be the inaugural Alumni College at Wright State University!

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN HERE!!

We believe that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong quest, and Alumni College is a rich opportunity to enjoy that learning experience again and to sample the recent research and academic courses of Wright State's distinguished faculty. When you're not in class, Alumni College offers a chance to mingle with your fellow "classmates" who make up a broad spectrum of WSU alumni from various class years, majors, and regions.

Participants will experience today's state-of-the-art classrooms, facilities, and dorms (if you choose). Alumni College is designed so that participants will be able to attend every course offered.  Don't worry—this time around, you won't be quizzed at the end!
