Year of Focus opens Sept. 12

The 2024-25 topic, Dialogue and Discourse in Divisive Times, will engage the WSU community in a yearlong conversation and exploration of constructive discourse and dialogue – its purpose, history, challenges and importance in a diverse democracy. Kicking off the 2024 Year of Focus is a symposium on Sept. 12 featuring a talk by Professor John Inazu, author of Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect.

Hit the ground career ready

Thanks to career learning opportunities like internships, job shadowing, clinical experiences, service learning and hands-on research, Wayne State students begin preparing for “what’s next” long before they graduate. These "learning by doing" opportunities help deepen a student's educational experience through application in real-world contexts, instilling marketable skills like critical thinking, leadership and communication that build a strong foundation for long-term career success. That’s one more reason Wayne State graduates are in high demand in the marketplace. Below are just a few recent Warrior grads who sat down with us to tell their story.
