From the President's Desk - Wayne State University

Dear Wayne State community,

Welcome to the start of the 2024-25 academic year at Wayne State University! Whether you are stepping onto campus for the first time or are a returning Warrior, a dedicated faculty member, or part of our invaluable staff, we are thrilled you are a part of our WSU community.

There is an energy that you can feel on campus as new students take the first steps in their academic journeys and continuing students return with excitement. Everyone is eager to embrace new challenges, guided by outstanding faculty mentors and devoted staff committed to our WSU mission. We are ready to kick off this academic year ... are you?

Are you ready video

As we celebrate Fall Opening, we encourage you to visit our website for a full lineup of events designed to kick off the semester. You will not want to miss Convocation, which will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25. This cherished tradition marks the official welcome for our new students, and we hope you will be there to share in the excitement. Immediately following Convocation, come check out FestiFall and discover the many ways to be engaged on campus: Whether it is our student organizations or academic programs, schools and colleges, or university divisions and units, there is something for everyone.

We hope your summer has been both memorable and rejuvenating, and that you are energized for the start of classes on Aug. 26. We look forward to seeing you on campus!
