Communications
As president of Wayne State University, it's my priority to maintain open, timely and transparent communication with our campus community. We use a range of channels — including videos, social media, emails and our Today@Wayne newsletter — to keep everyone informed, from our students, alumni and community champions to our faculty and staff. These platforms are key in sharing important updates and celebrating achievements within the university community.
On this page, you'll find an archive of my communications with the university community. It’s also where you can get a sense of our approach to communication, including the principles and rationale behind our messaging. Our team is continually learning and improving how we tell Wayne State’s story, including implementation of many recommendations from a 2024 operational review of the university-wide approach to marketing and communications. I encourage you to follow my official social media accounts for a more personal glimpse into campus life, events and visits.
Communication is a collaborative effort — I enjoy hearing from our campus members. Your questions, comments and feedback are always welcome. Please feel free to connect with me. Your input is invaluable, and I look forward to our ongoing dialogue and collaboration at Wayne State University.
