Wayne State University Diversity Programs Mission

Our mission is to promote and maintain programs that support initiatives enhancing minority student retention and academic excellence.  WSU Diversity Programs work closely with other campus departments, faculty, and staff to develop a climate in which cultural diversity is valued, appreciated, and accepted.  All support services focus on facilitating leadership skills, graduation, applying to and attending graduate school, and entry into professional and academic careers.  Wayne State’s Diversity Programs staff members devote their time and energy to the retention and graduation of minority-enrolled students.

On this site you will discover upcoming events, funding resources, research opportunities and various diversity assistance programs.
