The Student Government is in the process of discussing several resolutions based on concerns presented by the general student body.  These include:

  • A resolution to have a fall break
  • A resolution to improve retention and academic success
  • Internal resolutions (SG positions & constitution)

Please keep an eye out for WINGS polls (wings.wright.edu), which gives our Senators much needed feedback.  Student Government meetings are open to the public, and this week's meeting will be held in E157 Student Union.

Wright State students, faculty, staff and alumni had a chance to “Get Back with the Pack” during the university’s annual Homecoming Week. The week was filled with fun activities for Raiders of all ages.

College of nusring & Health Senator Corban Robinson

Student Government Senator Corban Robinson met with  Dean Mainous to discuss the grading scale for nursing students. Students have asked that grades be rounded to the nearest percent grade for all projects, which Dr. Mainous was in agreement with. Next was in reference to the current grading scale which, as nursing students know, stands at a C=75%, B=84%, A=93% (with C being the minimum passing grade). Although the College of Nursing is determined to keep the minimum grade at a 75%, it was suggested that the grading scale be modified to C=75%, B=80%, A=90%. The concern with the old scale was not that students would or wouldn't pass, but by making it harder to get an A or B would negatively impact their GPAs and thus make grad school that much harder to achieve in the future. The Dean showed support of this new grading scale and would certainly propose it to the college board.
