Apply to be a Warrior 360 Success Partner today!

Warrior 360 is a comprehensive student support program. We support the success of incoming students prior to the start of their first semester at Wayne State University all the way through graduation. Peer success partners serve as a friend and guide to answer students' questions, listen, and share what their WSU experiences have been and how they have navigated college life. 

Through one-on-one interactions and group meetings, success partners are knowledgeable guides for new students, thoughtful facilitators who provide access to people/resources, and ultimately role models that advocate success.
