As a freshman, there are important rules and policies to follow to make sure your WSU experience is successful. WSU provides many useful services to students. Below are some examples:Community Standards

and Student Conduct

“You don’t want to see me, it’s probably not going to be a good visit,” Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Director of Community Standards and Student Conduct Gary Dickstein said. “I’ve seen a lot of good students make bad choices.”

The code of conduct serves to educate students about their civic and social responsibilities as members of the campus

Community Standards and Student Conduct can inform students about their rights, how to make a judicial complaint, sanctions and potential charges they could face for non-tolerable behavior as well as any other disciplinary questions they might have.

“Some tips I have for freshmen is don’t get a drug conviction that includes doing or selling drugs. You will lose

said. “Also, if you cheat, it stays on your permanent record forever. You might get kicked out. Furthermore the law says don’t drink until you’re 21. Be mature enough to accept the consequences for not following the rules.”

“Every time you make a decision, think: ‘Would I want this to end up on the news? Would I be embarrassed? Would my family be proud of my actions? Could this hurt me down the road?’ If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you shouldn’t be doing whatever it is you were going to do,” Dickstein said.Student Legal Services

Student Legal Services (SLS)

has served students since 2000. SLS currently employs two full-time attorneys who typically advise and represent over 1,000 students each year. Additionally, SLS promotes educational opportunities for

the entire student body that are related to legal issues facing today’s students. Students must pay an $11 participation fee at the beginning of each semester to use the services.Campus Safety

WSU has its own campus police who patrol the campus throughout the day, every day. There are emergency blue lights at various locations around campus. If you are in a dangerous situation, you can hit the button, and the police will

“The best way to implement campus safety is to educate the public on what the safest practices are, and how important it is to report things immediately and not second guess yourself,” Manager of Crime Prevention Sgt. Patrick Ammon said.

“If students feel that they are in danger, they should call the police immediately and have the police dispatch number programmed in their phone on speed dial,” Ammon said. “Dialing 911 from a cell phone may be routed to Greene County or Fairborn and cause delays.”

According to Ammon, if something looks suspicious, call the police. Know that the Silent Witness Link is available on the police website to report crimes and remain anonymous. However, this is not for emergencies.

WSU also offers Women’s Self Defense classes, which are free to the public. Some classes are a couple of hours and others multiple days.

Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate (A.L.I.C.E) is another free program which shows basic options you have in an Active Shooter situation. All information can be found at www.wright.edu/police.

“Also be aware of the consequence that can be from referrals, citations, loss

getting kicked out of school,” Ammon said. “If you press the emergency buttons around campus and there is no emergency, you will be charged for that as a crime.”Student Health Services

WSU offers a clinic open to all students. Services provided include but are not limited to: help with acute and chronic conditions, physicals, female exams, laboratory testing, allergy injections and birth

control.“We have about 8,000

students who use this center,” Director of Student Health Services Leatha Ross said. “Most are immunizations and some skin tests. Students have two billing options. One, they could purchase WSU health insurance that covers a visit, variety of labs if referred out, and within the network it will also cover 80 percent of student health. If students have their own insurance or are on their parent’s, it can be charged to their bursar account and they can pay it later. By fall, we are working on having the ability to bill other insurance companies so cost isn’t much of a concern.”

Counseling and Wellness Services, located beside Health Services, offers students individual, couples, family and group sessions.

Some examples of issues that have been addressed are relationship problems, academic problems, family

sexual/physical abuse, panic/anxiety, depression, eating disorders, as well as grief and self-esteem issues. This department does not release information to anyone without the client’s approval.Food Pantry

The WSU Food Pantry, open several times throughout the week, provides food to all students who need it, and is a good source of information for government and local assistance with food.

Each student can receive help once a month and must

information about age, race and number of dependents. Available items include canned goods, dry pasta, bread, baby food, diapers and refrigerated items such as eggs and meat.

“For students who need the help, understand you do

however, you must be a WSU student,” Food Pantry volunteer Elizabeth Kimmell said. “For those who’d like to get involved, just donate. Many student organizations team up and help by charging gifts to the food pantry as the price of entry for some of their events. Also people can sign up and volunteer to work at the Food Pantry.”Disability Services

WSU has several extra curricular activities for students with disabilities. Some include adapted athletics, intramurals and recreation. There are physical support services to help with daily living. Students can also receive classroom accommodations such as a reader, writer and sign language interpreter. Applicants requiring services should contact the

Tutoring Services

WSU offers free tutoring to all freshmen. Freshmen can have up to an hour of tutoring for every class free of charge each week. Students can register for a tutor at the Tutoring Services

library. The Writing Center is also located in the basement of the library. They provide free help to students writing papers. Career Services

Career Services helps students develop career and life planning skills, acquire experience and seek

tools and personal advising to help students who are uncertain of what major to choose. It also provides campus and local employment postings, prepares and

and internships, does mock interviews and helps with resumes. They also offer career days for students to network with potential employers.Advising, DARS and

Raider Connect

Freshmen should be familiar with their advisor. All freshmen are enrolled within the University College as they complete their general education requirements before

being accepted in the college of their major. Advisors can assist students on what courses to take and any questions they might have.

Students are encouraged to regularly check their DARS, which is the Degree Audit Report System. This automated report is designed to assist a student in tracking their performance in their academic

Wright State has over 200 student organizations on campus, and that number continues to grow.

These groups range from academics, religion, culture, recreation, sports, Greek life and special interest groups. The groups may differ, but the members share a common ground.

Many of these student organizations are open to all students, meet regularly and host different events and fundraisers on campus. For freshman especially, becoming a member of a student organization is a way to get involved on campus and meet people;; there is something for everyone.

Many organizations are major-driven. Organizations include: the Marketing Club, Chemistry Club, Forensic Science Society, Society of Women Engineers and African American Women in Professional Psychology. It is a great opportunity to meet other students on campus who want to graduate with the same degree as you.

Some of the organizations

focus on foreign languages. “The Spanish Club is a group

for anyone who likes learning about Spanish language and culture. You do not need to be taking Spanish classes or even speak Spanish to join,” Spanish Club member Khandiss Lippi said. “We normally have a really fun event where a professor teaches us how to cook

country and then we get to eat it.”

“This club is a great way to get involved and meet other people on campus,” Lippi

to know another language in this day and age. Joining the Spanish Club will help you learn some Spanish and meet the professors at WSU who could help your studies and future career. Who knows, maybe you’ll discover a new passion.”

There are also plenty of opportunities for students interested in music that are not majoring in it.

According to Shelley Jagow, Professor of Music, WSU also has groups for music students that include three wind band groups, jazz band and pep band. There are also orchestral and choral groups.

“Many prospective employers may have a minor in music or participate in music

ensembles. Participation in music ensembles is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and give back to the community,” Jagow said.

WSU is also home to Greek life. There are currently 25 fraternities and sororities on campus, including service groups as well as the Divine Nine (African American sororities and fraternities).

According to Alyssa Tyree, Vice President of Programming of the Pan-Hellenic Council, in the fall, freshman females can look forward to recruitment and the pre-recruitment events such as the ice cream social, Boogie on the Bricks and Girl’s Night

of Greek life include having a

supportive group of friends, scholarships, leadership skills, involvement on campus, activeness in the community and career opportunities.

“The great thing about being in a sorority is you know someone everywhere,” President of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority (Divine Nine) Anna Norman said. “If you travel to another city or school you

who will take you in. This is a way to make lifelong friends, work with others and have something great to put on your resume. In this sorority we don’t have rush. We express interest by having event membership, invitation only. We focus on service in our community as well as planning social events on campus such as Poetry Slam and Pool Party.”

Wright State also offers groups for those interested in dance.According to Emily Delman,

President of the Dancing Lindy Hoppers, the purpose of her organization is to develop an appreciation and interact in social dancing, perfecting the popular 1920-1950’s lindy hop. This is open to all students, and by participating with the club, students have a chance to meet people from various universities. This group has teamed up with University of Dayton’s Swing Dance Club and held dances during winter and spring semester.

“We compete all over the Dayton area, Indiana and Chicago,” President of Wright Rhythm Hip Hop Dance Team, Shanequa Gray said. “We have competed against teams that competed on B.E.T.’s ‘106 & Park,’ ‘America’s Got Talent’

and ‘World of Dance.’ This hip hop group is for college students who love to dance.”

There are also a ton of organizations on campus that cater to a specialized group of students such as the Democratic/Republican clubs, 4 Paws (a service group that provides dogs for people with disabilities), American Sign Language Club, Colleges against Cancer, the Iranian Club, Black Women Striving Forward, Wright Parenting, the Comic Book Club and VIVA Models.

“VIVA Models is a student modeling support group that has about 20-25 models,” President VIVA Models Chandra Haynes said. “Students can get involved by coming to an open casting call. I like to present student’s needs and wants in becoming a successful model.”

Fall Fest is the biggest event of the school year for student organizations. All students are encouraged to attend to learn about all the different student organizations on campus. The event will take place on Aug. 30 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A full list of student registered organizations can be found on orgsync.com, as well as member and contact information. For students who feel that their interest has not been met by the groups already formed, they can form their own. Go to the Student Activities Department and

community.

How can I meet new

people before classes

start?

One great option for meeting classmates before arriving at Wright State is joining a “Class of 20--” Facebook group. The downside is that these are usually open pages, and if you’re concerned with privacy, it may not be the way to go.

Can I take ____ class?

State offers, visit your WINGS account (wings.wright.edu). Click on the Academics tab, then look for “Student Lookup Classes.” Follow the instructions

terms, campuses and times offered!

How can I talk to my

professors? One of the great things about college is that your professors are required to make themselves available to you! Simple questions can be handled in email, but face-to-face meetings let your professor know who you are and help you develop a relationship with them. Most professors

the syllabus handed out on

Most professors are willing to schedule appointments on request.

classes? During First Weekend, you should be able to take a tour of the classroom buildings on campus. However, if you’d rather walk through your schedule on your own time, printable maps of campus are available at www.wright.edu/university-maps/campus-maps.

Do I really have to read

the Common Text? You have probably heard that you should read the Common Text, and it is recommended. If you decide not to read it, be warned: intro-level English classes, as well as University College (UVC) and University Honors (UH) freshman seminars have been known to use it

classes.

Can I get anything for

“free” on campus?

Yes! A lot of on-campus events—especially those put on by residence life—offer free stuff, usually in the form of food. In fact, The Bridge Café hosts Free Weiner Wednesday every Tuesday at 7:00—you can get a free hot dog just for showing

with events that give out food,

T-shirts, planners and other prizes.

Welcome Week? Welcome Week includes First

of Fall semester. It starts with First Weekend, featuring the President’s Cookout (more free food!), open houses, campus tours and once-a-year activities, like the UAB Comedy Show and Boogie on the Bricks.

Who—or what—is

B.A.R.T.? The enormous red sculpture in the middle of campus has been affectionately dubbed B.A.R.T—the Big-A** Red Thing. It is a great landmark, and lots of directions for new students start off with, “If you’re standing in front of B.A.R.T…” Plus, it is

maps.

It can’t actually be

called that, can it?

sculpture is “Turning Points.” It was created by sculptor David Black in 1998 when University Hall was added to WSU’s campus.

How do I use my meal

plan?

Wright State recently switched food providers, so the meal plans will be changing

The new food provider,

Chartwells, will tentatively be bringing a block meal plan to Wright State campus, where students are alotted a certain amount of blocks valued at $8 a piece, or half blocks at $4 a piece, as well as other options.

Where can I use my

Wright1 card? You can use your meal plan in dining areas in the Student Union or the Hangar, as well as Donato’s (Their Page Manor location takes your meal plan, even for delivery!). If you’re using Flex Dollars, money that you deposit on your Wright1 card, there are a lot of local options. For a complete list, visit www.wright.edu/wright1-card/ and click on “Vendors & Locations.”

What if I lose my

Wright1 card? Not losing your Wright1 card is the best strategy: it acts as your ID on campus, and some professors even use them to verify your identity for exams! If it does go missing, you can visit Wright1 card services in the Student Union to replace it—this usually costs around

afterward.

on campus? If you’re looking for a job on campus, Wright State’s Career

visit www.wright.edu/career-services and click on “Job Search” in the navigation bar. To the left, you’ll see a “Job Seekers” button, which will take you to a page introducing you to WrightSearch, the WSU Job

job opportunities by employer,

the job that’s right for you.

What if I have trouble

with my classes? As a new student, WSU provides you with great resources to help you succeed. One of these

you can receive one hour of free tutoring per week for every class you’re taking. If you want or need more than an hour of tutoring, each session costs $6.

How do I get involved?

Wright State is home to more than 200 registered student organizations (often called orgs), so there’s something for everyone. During Welcome Week, visit Fall Fest and get to know some of the campus orgs. Organizations will have booths and tables set up to let you know about their groups in the hope that you’ll join up. Fraternities and sororities, as well as academic, cultural, honorary, media, recreational, religious, residential, and special interest groups will be looking for new members—maybe even you!

15 Questions new students ask


From vending machines to fast food chains, there are multiple dining options available on campus at Wright State.

Dining is available at the Union Market, the Hangar, the Bridge Café, The Wright Cup, Café Wright and vending machines scattered across campus.

On July 1, Wright State changed food service providers from Sodexo to Chartwells. The new contract will be valid for six years. There will be new changes to the meal plans next year where students will receive a select number of dinning

during a semester. A meal will consist of an entrée, two sides and a dessert.

“We are going to see major transformations for the fall semester,” Executive Director of Business Services at Wright State Art Neff said.

Along with other changes, Subway and Starbucks will be added on campus.

“We are very excited,” Neff said.

Current students will experience the new changes with the incoming freshmen and transfer students.

Currently, the Hangar consists of Taco Bell, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Skyline, Farmer’s Market and Harvest Hill. The Union Market includes a variety of foods including subs, soups and salads, Asian stir-fry, pizza and burgers and fries.

“The stir fry from the Union Market is my favorite,” junior religious studies major Andrew Ellis said. “There are plenty of vending machines around school where I recommend the cinnamon rolls.”

“During my undergrad, I was all over the cinnamon rolls at the Wright Cup,” graduate computer science major Kylyn Magee said.

Along with experiencing the variety of foods on campus, students can enjoy dining at locations surrounding campus using their Wright 1 card, which allows students to get discounts and pay for meals.

More important than any single event is the chance for new traditions.

“Being a young institution, new traditions are around every corner,” explained Pence. “[The university is] not so closed off to new ideas.” Pence continued, “We want students to be able to have ownership [in the traditions], to be a part of something bigger, which is what being a Raider is all about.”

Men’s BasketballHead coach: Billy Donlon2012-13 Record: 23-13 (10-6)

Last season was a banner year for the WSU men’s basketball team. Head coach

Hugh Durham award given annually to the nation’s top mid-major coach, led the Raiders

wins when they defeated Tulsa and Richmond in the College Basketball Invitational. They fell to Valparaiso in the Horizon League Tournament Championship game. For a team that was projected to

standings, the Raiders instead

the season on a strong note. WSU looks primed for another deep run next year.

Women’s Basketball Head coach: Mike Bradbury2012-2013 record: 12-18 (6-

10)

The team overcame early season-ending injuries to junior Courtney Boyd and sophomore Mylan Woods, and battled through a competitive conference schedule. They fell in the second round of the Horizon League Tournament to Detroit. The Raiders were fueled by the explosive play of sophomore guard Kim Demmings, who was selected to the Second Team All-Horizon League. Junior Ivory James,

off the bench, was named to the All-Newcomer Team. Coach Bradbury’s team will look to build on its youth and experience when the 2013-14 season tips off.

Basketball

Head coach: Lynn Curylo2013 record: 9-26 (6-6)

After a slow start to the 2013 season, the team has won four of its last seven games, with plenty of opportunities to improve their conference standing before the Horizon League Tournament in May. At the beginning of the year, the Raiders participated in the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament in Los Angeles and played against nationally ranked UCLA and Texas A&M.

The WSU hockey team, which plays its home matches at nearby Kettering Rec Center, plays in the Division II level in the ACHA and won a national championship in 2006. The team plays local schools including Dayton, Cincinnati, Ohio, Miami and Bowling Green.

WSU does have a football team that claimed the number one ranking in the national polls

looking forward to the game. “I think it’s great to see such
