Wayne State University will soon launch the Warrior Wardrobe to provide gently used clothing to students, free of charge. The new initiative is set to open later this fall and is currently in need of donations. Members of the campus community are invited to donate gently used clothing in a drop box located on the first floor of the Welcome Center. 

When Mason Chudzik and Gianna Manchester came to Wayne State University, they had no idea they’d revive a sport that had been dormant for nearly four decades. The pair is behind Wayne State Club Rowing, an effort to put university oars back in the Detroit River — a place they haven’t been since 1984.

Summers at Wayne State University are typically a quieter time, as some students opt for a brief reprieve from their studies before the fall semester begins. But anyone walking around campus these past three months wouldn’t have guessed that. Over the course of 10 weeks, more than 2,800 students attended 130 different K-12 summer camp sessions held throughout Wayne State. 

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially to a campus building that thousands of Warriors (and Tartars!) have called home. Following the end of the winter ’19 semester, the Helen L. DeRoy Apartments officially closed on May 1, 2019. Since construction finished in 1974, the 15-story building has housed more than 350 students, faculty and staff annually, and was home to the College of Education’s Early Childhood Center and the newly relocated Campus Health Center.

The Wayne State University School of Medicine’s 294 freshmen medical students have been busy completing their first service-learning project less than a month into medical school. Throughout August, the students of the Class of 2023 spent two hours each volunteering on evenings or weekends at one of four urban community gardens in Detroit neighborhoods – Keep Growing Detroit, Auntie Na's House, HUDA (Health Unit on Davison Avenue) Garden and Michigan Urban Farming Initiative.
