Wright State University
Wright State University is a public research university located near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn, Ohio, United States, a suburb of Dayton. Originally operating as a branch campus for Ohio State University and Miami University, Wright State became independent in 1967. Its name was chosen in honor of aviation pioneers the Wright brothers, who were residents in the local area. In 1969, a branch campus opened on the shore of Grand Lake St. Marys in Celina, Ohio.
==History==
Wright State University began in 1964 as a branch campus of Miami University and Ohio State University, occupying only a single building. That building, Allyn Hall, was named for one of the university's founders and former president of National Cash Register Stanley Allyn. Much of the land that the campus is situated on was donated by the United States Air Force from excess acreage of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Groundwork on forming the institution began in 1961 during a time when the region lacked a public university for higher education. Dayton was emerging economically as a center for innovative technologies which demanded an increasingly educated work force. A community-wide fundraising effort was conducted in 1962 to establish the university, and the campaign raised the $3 million needed in seed money.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wright State History )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wright State History - The Dayton Campus )〕
The Ohio General Assembly passed legislation in 1965 that transformed the Dayton campus into the Wright State Campus with its own Advisory Committee on November 5, 1965. It was anticipated at the time that the campus would achieve independent status by 1967 with its rapidly increasing enrollment of full-time students, projected to reach 5,000 within two years. On October 1, 1967, the campus officially became Wright State University following a decision made by the Ohio Board of Regents. The name was chosen to honor the Wright brothers, well-known residents of Dayton who are credited with the invention of the world's first successful airplane.
David R. Hopkins was appointed president in 2007, succeeding Brage Golding (1966–1973), Robert J. Kegerreis (1973–1985), Paige E. Mulhollan (1985–1994), Harley E. Flack (1994–1998), and Kim Goldenberg (1998–2006). Also in 2007, Wright State University celebrated its 40th Anniversary. Coinciding with the historic event, Wright State created a 40th Anniversary website to highlight important milestones and events throughout the university's history.〔
