As a Wright State graduate, your degree increases your income potential and your income is likely your most valuable asset—not your home, your car, your jewelry, or other possessions. It’s your ability to earn a living. You have insured your home, your car, and your other assets against loss. Have you insured your income? What if you were injured or ill and could not work?

In Dayton, our volunteers worked on a service project at the Beaver Creek Wetlands on Saturday, April 13. Volunteers removed invasive plants from the adjacent meadow and planted specific wetland plants that will benefit this unique ecosystem. The new planting will not only help the environment, it is also part of a research project for current Wright State students.
