Alumni Week of Service

Sept. 23-30, 2023

For one week annually in the fall, Wayne State alumni from around the world come together to showcase the incredible ways that #WarriorsGiveBack. Volunteering is easy when you do something you love or that you’re already involved in. Warriors are encouraged to select a project that best aligns with their lifestyle and passions, or to self-report a volunteer project of their own.

Select the Self-Reported Independent Project option to share any recent volunteer activities that you complete independently, with other alumni, or through affinity groups or employers. Regardless of how or where you volunteer, we want to celebrate you during Alumni Week of Service.
