Important Part of Community

One of Wayne State University's goals is to develop mutually beneficial partnerships with our community as a catalyst for the region's social, cultural, economic and educational enrichment. Some of the many ways in which WSU is engaged in the community include:

• WSU is Detroit's 10th largest employer. 
   
• WSU's $18 million Welcome Center provides a gateway between the university and the community to enhance services to students, faculty and staff. 
   
• More than 800,000 people each year participate in WSU's community education and public service programs. 
   
• The university co-sponsors community events, helping bring thousands of visitors to the University Cultural Center through the annual Festival of the Arts, America's Thanksgiving Parade and the Detroit Inner-City Games. 
   
• Wayne State’s TechTown, Detroit’s only research and technology park, includes 42 companies as tenants after opening in 2004. Establishment of the park, a community of entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, service providers and corporate partners, is a major effort to diversify the local economy.

• Six satellite campuses throughout Southeastern Michigan: Clinton Township, Farmington Hills, Harper Woods, Madison Heights, Northwest Detroit and Port Huron. Some satellite campuses offer courses six days a week, nights and weekends.
