Wright State University-Main Campus Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Amy

I attend Wright State University. Founded in 1964, Wrigh State was originally the Dayton branch campus of both Miami University and The Ohio State University. At that time it comprised of only a single building, Allyn Hall (named for Stanley Allyn, then-president of National Cash Register and one of the university's founders). A 1965 act of the Ohio General Assembly created the university. Wright State University was eventually chosen to honor the Wright Brothers, residents of Dayton.
