Wright State Regional Summit goes online
Wright State University’s 2009 Regional Summit will be held online, rather than as a public event at the school.
In lieu of hosting an in-person summit this year, as it did in 2007 and 2008, Wright State has created a special edition of Community magazine and a new Web site to update people on how the university is working with community partners to enhance the Dayton region.
“We announced at last year’s Regional Summit that we would be more innovative in how we try to engage the community,” said David R. Hopkins, university president. “By transforming what was previously a half-day event into a publication and online forum, we are able to take advantage of technology that opens the door to the widest possible participation.
“Holding the summit ‘virtually’ also allows us to extend the conversation on rethinking the region’s future throughout the entire year,” Hopkins said.
The Regional Summit, “Rethinking the Region’s Future,” issue of Community magazine is the result of the summits held in 2007 and 2008.
The special issue was distributed to more than 50,000 Wright State alumni in a 16-county region and to more than 700 community and government leaders, according to university officials.
The public is invited to participate in the conversation about the region’s future online. To visit Wright State’s Regional Summit 2009 Web site, click here.
