Welcome Black 2022
This event is in the past.
Join the Office of Multicultural Student Engagement (OMSE) for our fifth annual Wayne State University (WSU) Welcome Black event! Welcome Black 2022 will be held on Monday, August 29th at 3:00 PM in the Student Center Ballroom. Connect with peers, faculty, and staff during this exciting networking event. Our goal is to help all Black students get connected to WSU campus resources, Black student organizations, Black faculty, and staff at the beginning of the school year.
