Santa Monica Presidential Reception Update

We have watched the devastating news of wildfires raging in Southern California. Our hearts go out to our alumni and friends, and their families and neighbors. It is with sincere concern for the safety and well-being of our alumni community, and our event vendors and their staff, that we cancel the event in Santa Monica planned for Feb. 20. Read the full update.

 How you can help: UCLA resources


Wayne State alumni can be found working and living in locations from coast to coast. There are active Wayne State alumni regional networks in many areas across the country. Attend an event near you to make personal and professional connections with people who share your green-and-gold pride – and learn more about what's happening on campus from our president.
