WrightU advocates for our students by:
Eliminating economic barriers from application through graduation
Facilitating real-world opportunities to apply knowledge outside the classroom

Shopping businesses owned by women, people of color, and people with disabilities when possible
Contracting local professionals for campus development
Planning to partner with local companies for student internships
WrightU is currently partnering with national companies for remote technology services and banking. These decisions are under continuous review.
