Student Government Association’s (SGA) Wright State Impact is an upcoming project pitch competition (based off of UpDayton Summit) and is centered around seven people who will take stage and present their ideas on how to make the campus stronger.
The audience will vote on the individual’s concept they like best and whoever receives the most votes will win a $1,000 prize with support from SGA, the Division of Student Affairs and Office of Equity and Inclusion to implement their idea in the following months.
“The Wright Impact is a project-pitch competition -- that we are using to looking for ideas. The first pitch is the celebration of people, diversity, and strength of Wright State University. The second, it challenges the community to be more equitable. So, we are looking for ideas that will meet those two criteria,” SGA President David Baugham said.
Anyone on campus such as students, administrators, staff, faculty and alumni can submit in an idea as well as people who are not part of campus. “The point is we are trying to engage our community in that respect,” Baugham said.
Baugham believes in powering the campus to go above hate and bias amid recent topics on campus and grants students to “take campus in their own hands,” as it’s important in the long run just as it with the end results.
“I think It’s important for us to be able to power our community as much as possible, to come up with the solutions as oppose to us diagnosing what we believe the solutions are on campus. This is just one of the many ways I hope we engage a student body that is very passionate, very excited to contribute and enable them to be fulfilled in their own actions,” Baugham said.
