Welcome

The University Relations Division drives Wayne State’s mission forward through strategic engagement, relationship building and impactful communication – both within the university and beyond. The division unites government relations, board relations, community relations, and University Communications and Marketing to create a cohesive approach to advocacy and collaboration on behalf of the entire university.

The team is committed to amplifying Wayne State's impact by telling our story, developing innovative campaigns, connecting deeply with our many stakeholders, promoting transformative initiatives and advocating for support that strengthens higher education, drive research and innovation, and enhance community well-being. Through effective collaboration, communication and connection, we build and maintain meaningful relationships that support the work of Wayne State’s prosperity agenda in Detroit, Michigan and beyond.
