Stay connected

Update your info so the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences can stay in touch with you and share news and opportunities relevant to you and your interests. If you have a story you'd like to share about your time at Wayne State or your achievements, you may share it with students by submitting a Class Note.

Get involved

Tell us about how you would like to help and we will help you find a way to volunteer your time and speak to, mentor, inspire, and connect with students following in your footsteps. Opportunities are available in Detroit and cities home to our regional networks, but there are also opportunities to connect with students from wherever you are in the world using remote web conferencing. Some volunteer opportunities are ongoing and others such as WSU Alumni Day of Service and CLAS Alumni Family Day last only a few hours.

Marc Gold and Barbara Heyer have worked tirelessly to create a more just society. Their journey started in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Wayne State University. Both Gold and Heyer fondly recall how supportive their WSU professors were. "Wayne State professors were encouraging and engaging with me, and I gained confidence because of that," said Gold. "Once I gained more confidence I was able to focus on what is fulfilling for me, and I realized I could make a difference."
