Wright State University-Lake Campus is a branch campus of Wright State University located between Celina, Ohio, and St. Marys, Ohio. The 211-acre campus sits on the northern shore of Grand Lake St. Marys at 7600 Lake Campus Drive, Celina, OH 45822. Founded in 1962 by the Western Ohio Educational Foundation,[6] a 501c3 organization created to support higher education in the Mercer and Auglaize counties region of Ohio, the school was affiliated with Ohio Northern University before it became a branch campus of Wright State University in 1969.[7] Located near Dayton, Ohio, Wright State is part of the public university system of the state of Ohio.
