Wright State University’s annual ArtsGala is scheduled for Saturday, April 13, with an impressive program featuring student performances in theatre, dance, motion pictures, music and visual arts.
Fleece blankets for sick and traumatized children were cut, tied and labeled by Wright State students and employees April 2 in the Student Union Atrium.
With the help of numerous volunteers more than 600 blankets were donated to local social service agencies and area shelters. Since 1995, Project Linus has donated over 7.3 million blankets nationally.
One blanket costs between $10 and $18 to make. Wright State has donated over 6,000 blankets in previous years to Dayton-area Project Linus.
Wright State President Cheryl B. Schrader joined the Model UN team in New York including for the opening ceremony.

West Carrollton is surveying residents on a range of topics involving city services, including police and fire services and trash collection.

When he was 16 years old, he got a job bagging groceries at Dot’s Market, a seven-minute walk from the family home in Dayton’s Belmont neighborhood.
Today, 27-year-old Nick Moshos still bags groceries at Dot’s from time to time — when he’s not running the iconic, 68-year-old neighborhood store. He’s the new owner.
The Wright State University alumnus bought Dot’s in September and now oversees its 85 employees.
“I’ve been coming to Dot’s Market since I was a baby,” said Moshos. “A lot of the same employees are still here who waited on me when I was a child.”
Tony Hall, ex-congressman and former U.S. ambassador shared his experiences during a visit to Wright State University on April 1 as part of a talk to students on how to create social change.
Since 1978, Wright State University’s faculty, staff and retirees have invested in students through the annual Campus Scholarship and Innovation Campaign (CSIC). That long legacy of giving continues with this year’s CSIC, which launched April 1.
The theme of the 2019 campaign is “For Our Students.”
