This. This is Wright State. 💚💛💚
Wright State is not the drama and negative news headlines.
Far from it.
Wright State IS support and encouragement.
It's where people come to start anew, aspire to something bigger.
Where students learn to change the world.
Wright State is home.
There’s no place for hate at Wright State. We have offered housing to the peace keepers who are coming to assist Dayton officers during the expected Klan rally in Dayton on Saturday. We are committed to an inclusive and peaceful campus; we are made stronger by our diversity.
"What's your name?"
"Wright State University"
"Like Wright, Ohio? Is that a city?"
"No. As in the Wright brothers."
"Like the airplane people?"
"Yes. Exactly."
"I thought they were in North Carolina?"
"Ohio folks may hurt you if you say that again"
"Really?"
"Uh... No"

Ohio has decided that seasons are a social construct and that it will do whatever it pleases regarding weather.
We are merely puppets. Cold, cold, confused puppets.

We encourage everyone to be especially kind to each other during the impending strike.
Have faith that things will improve. They will.
Because we have grit. Determination. Drive.
We won't give up.
Because we have each other.
Because WE ARE Wright State.
Just as we do not condemn entire religions, races, or nations for the acts of a few “bad apples,” so too do we not condemn our campus republicans for the recent hateful graffiti.
Respect each other.
Be kind.
Listen more.
Empathize.

Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind American Factory, for telling such a complex, moving story about the very human consequences of wrenching economic change. Glad to see two talented and downright good people take home the Oscar for Higher Ground’s first release.
