ACADEMIC CATALOG 2011 WICHITA CAMPUS WICHITA, KANSAS CAMPUS March 2011 Printing 2011 CATALOG EFFECTIVE MARCH 2011 Dear Friends, I believe we have a lot in common! By choosing Wright, you have demonstrated a need to achieve, to get ahead, and to deal effectively with these changing times. I, too, feel these same needs; maintaining “the status quo” just doesn’t “make it” in today’s fast-paced world. At Wright, we are definitely “into” achievement, and even though our school history dates back to 1921, growth and progress are the watchwords of our Institution. I wouldn’t have it any other way! To those of you who have just begun your education or who still have some time left before graduation, I encourage you to study diligently for the rewards are well worth the effort. To those of you about to graduate, I offer you my sincere congratulations and best wishes for a prosperous and happy future.
