Student Spotlight - Sri Sharan Tirunahari
|
|
Sri Sharan Tirunahari is one of our international students from India. He is studying Industrial and Human Factors Engineering at Wright State:
"My journey to Wright State is quite interesting as I was not even aware of the course which I'm pursuing, so there was no thought that I would come to Wright State.
But one day one of my friends actually suggested to me there is some course called Industrial and Human Factors Engineering at Wright State University. The first impression about the course was really attractive and impressive, then I started researching on the course and University.
I got to know that there are a lot more opportunities wide open to me if I finish this course and the best factor is there are many clubs and well-equipped recreation facilities where I can involve in and develop my leadership, interactive and interpersonal skills with the people who come from different parts of the world.
Finally, both my friend and I are here. Hope we find a much more interesting and enthralling experience at Wright State", Sri Sharan said.

COVID-19 Random Testing: What to know to avoid violating disciplinary actions against you

Anyone who fails to complete the required testing will receive a single opportunity to reschedule their test. A second failure to complete the required testing will result in a referral to Student Conduct. This is a serious matter and it will result into a disciplinary action against you.
