On Monday, Feb. 12, the university hosted an open forum on strategic planning. A campus-wide email from the Communications department was sent out in anticipation of the event.

The event is part of a series of forums related to the strategic planning process, dubbed “The Wright Path to 2025: Pride, Transformation, Potential.”

Through this series, the university intends to collect thoughts and facilitate discussion from any members of the Wright State community with input to share.

“This first set of open forums is designed to engage anyone interested in helping to define Wright State’s future […] While celebrating our past and current successes, the forums will focus on our university’s mission and purpose as we look to the future,” said President Cheryl Schrader in the email.

Individuals of varying backgrounds were involved in the dialogue, including students, faculty, staff, and community stakeholders. Participants were split off into separate tables, where they introduced themselves to one another and responded individually to four prompts:

Reflect on experiences with pride, transformation, and potential.
Explain how Wright State allowed those experiences to occur.
Provide recommendations for the university as it moves forward.
State points of interest to bring to President Schrader’s attention.

After reflecting on the prompts, attendees participated in group discussions to identify common values shared amongst the people at their table.

“The planning process will put our institution in a position to thrive in higher education's changing environment, help the university achieve financial sustainability, and foster a campus atmosphere that provides graduates with opportunities to excel in fields that define the future,” said Schrader in the email.

Open forums such as this event will lead up to a culminating event scheduled for April, in which the committee will reveal its updated mission statement.

On Sunday, Feb. 18, the Chinese Club hosted the annual Lunar New Year Celebration in the Student Union. The Lunar New Year Celebration is a Chinese holiday based off the lunar calendar and is widely celebrated in various countries around the world.

This year is expected to be "especially big," according to Chinese Lecturer and Chinese Club advisor Haili Du, as the Chinese Club partnered with the Chinese International Student Association along with some involvement from the Student Government Association.

A variety types of activities were offered, including games, calligraphy writing, folding and cutting paper activities, exciting food and cuisines, and a performance (particularly a dance) - all to reflect and demonstrate Chinese culture.

When it comes to food on the Lunar New Year Celebration, Du shared a majorly popular dish. "For Chinese food, and not just for Chinese cuisine, they will be hands on – making jiaozi, which is a traditional Chinese dumpling for the new year," Du said.

Du also emphasized the collaboration between the Chinese club and other groups' involvement due to more people this year.

"It's a good opportunity to get students all together because everybody is very busy, and we have a Chinese program. I think American kids need to not just learn the language, they need to learn the Chinese culture. So, this time is to invite all American people – American students over to learn more about Chinese culture and people because we are having this big group of Chinese International Students," Du said.
