Watch Ashley and Ben race around the track on their way to Indianapolis this summer!

One year ago we set out to create an adventure, traveling across the country, connecting with Wittenberg alumni.  We called it - Witt Nation 2008.  We had no idea the trip would accomplish the goals set forth in our plan; to connect with alumni in their communities and capture the true Wittenberg through alumni stories and fabulous memories. Well, the trip was so successful that we decided...let's do it again!  This year we will engage with alumni, students and prospective students in our new adventure; Witt Nation 2009 - Engage.

As we came off the road in August of 2008, our road crew, while tired, never turned off their engines.  Our wheels never stopped turning.  We have been mapping out our 2009 trip with a new spin, one that will highlight our traveling faculty members and two 2009 grads; Ashley and Ben.  Of course there will be some faces from last year as we all travel 9,000 miles in our Witt Nation van!

As we roll out our plans for the tour, please keep checking the Web site.  We have fun features and many new venues that will be announced over the next 2 weeks.  All aspects of the site are sure to engage our viewers.  Our hope is to continue to connect with our alumni across the country, even around the world, as we listen to your wonderful stories and fun times you had as students at Wittenberg.  We look forward to visiting you in your communities, as you continue to "pass on the light." 

Just remember the triple P--- Wittenberg University - the People, the Passion and the Place!

Meet Ben McCombs and Ashley Manson two of Witt Nation's newest roadies. They put this YouTube video together to announce the first stop of Witt Nation.

Greetings Witt Nation Fans! We are back for another cross-country road trip. This year we will be bringing the Witt Nation van to new cities with new cast members and new adventures. Stay tuned every day from this point forward for major announcements about what cities we will be traveling to and how you can get involved.

During the next two weeks we will be unrolling the locations of the tour in some pretty creative ways (we think anyway). With each announcement you'll be able to see some of Witt Nation's new cast members and hopefully participate in different ways.

If you are in need of more rapid information, be sure to follow us on Twitter. We're going to begin announcing the new stops of the tour tomorrow!
