Wayne State University has completed construction on the STEM Innovation Learning Center, and commemorated the occasion with an interactive virtual celebration complete with live remarks, a 3D tour, drone flyover and more. The facility, made possible by a $14.75 million commitment from the state of Michigan and bond proceeds to WSU, will serve as a campus hub for interdisciplinary teaching, learning and innovation. The building features 100,000 square feet of flexible classrooms, instructional labs, a maker space, and 3D printing lab with state-of-the-art technology to support hands-on and project-based learning.

With the recent implementation of Burning Glass’ Career Insights tool, Wayne State University has leveled up its ability to point current and prospective students in the right direction for their dream jobs. Data collected from Career Insights allows the college to tailor programs to the needs of students.  

Wayne State University requires that all enrolled students who intend to be on campus for any day during the fall and/or winter semesters receive a flu shot by Oct. 15, 2020. Students can receive their flu shot from the Campus Health Center at no out-of-pocket cost. If their insurance does not cover the flu shot or if they are uninsured, they will not receive a bill.

Wayne State University joined partners in government, business, education and philanthropy by signing on to the Detroit Regional Talent Compact. The compact — a collective impact effort led by the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Detroit Drives Degrees initiative — is a 10-year roadmap for rebuilding the workforce talent pipeline in Southeast Michigan.
