Hello -
Have any grad students received their financial aid offer yet? I was told three weeks ago it would be done by the end of that week. Still nothing. I completed my FAFSA in March and I'm not showing any outstanding tasks needed for financial aid.
Just wondering if graduate students have received theirs yet. Not scholarships, but the federal loan package.
The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)
Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter.
Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!
These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.
Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details!
We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions!
hi! if any of you are law students, can you please share what you are planning on wearing to the first day of orientation? I saw on the schedule that we are doing a park clean up that day, so I am assuming we should not be dressed in business casual? but I am afraid to come and be too dressed down compared to everyone else. Please help!!!
Does anyone know if it’s possible to have my housing changed before the semester starts? I wanted a one bedroom at AWD and was given a 4 bedroom at Towers. When I spoke to the housing they said AWD is full which was interesting because there’s usually ALWAYS one bedrooms left bc the price is so high. I’m hoping there’s a cancellation or something?
Take the prescreening survey to see if you qualify!
Anyone know if the GPS is awarded to multiple students per year, or only one winner? Or has anyone been awarded one for this year yet? I cannot tell from Wayne.edu and past Reddit posts (from what I can see) if the scholarship is given out to more than one recipient or not; and when the award is announced.
I need to see some honest student reviews of this program. It sounds like a really good program but i just wanted some student testimonies if any. What were the workshops like? The program in general?
Looking for a 1 bedroom or studio apartment near the Wayne Law building.
Any advice/suggestions is appreciated!
Hi! I'm an incoming exchange student at WSU. I heard that I have to get vaccinated for campus housing.
Has anyone gotten vaccinated at the Campus Health Center?
Will it be hard to get an appointment just before the semester starts? (Im worried the place might be busy around that time)
I wanted to book an appointment in advance but I can't since I don't have an american phone number.
i just got into Wayne State traditional 3-year nursing program. Anyone who graudted from the program, how was it? Im scared shitless i cant lie this is a big chapter of my life and idk what to expect esp about exams and clinicals lol. Please any advice or experiences would help!
Has anyone had professor Cha for Orgo 1? (Chm 1240) How were your experiences? Does he record his lectures (important)? And is attendance mandatory?
Hey all,
Just got a place by wsu and caught some awkward timing to park my car. I move in during the end of summer and don’t want to buy a $230 parking pass for the two weeks until I buy the other $230 parking pass that I’ll be using for the entire fall semester. The summer parking permit is useful until August 24, 2026 I beilieve and then I’d have to buy the fall parking permit to continue using the overnight parking structures. Which are PS2 and PS8. I just don’t want to spend so much money but I have to park my car somewhere overnight because my apartment doesn’t have available parking spaces left.
What are some overnight parking lots or structures by wsu that won’t cost me $460?? lmfao
Or maybe yall know a way to just pay for parking every night or something? I just don’t have $460 to spend unless I absolutely have to
Support House Joint Resolution U!
I want to let everybody know that right now is a pivotal moment in history for education in the state of Michigan. The legislature is currently working on passing a bill to abolish the current Board of Governors system that has afflicted Michigan for too long.
Unlike most states where university boards are appointed, Michigan board candidates are nominated at conventions by each party at WSU, MSU and UM. Voters really have no say in choosing the candidates because they’re forced to choose from the few choices given to them. It’s sham democracy because party insiders chose the members and voters just pick 2 out of 4 available choices given.
The fact is the current system is not working and the board members at Wayne State have failed at their jobs. I attended medical school at Wayne State and I witnessed firsthand the lack of integrity, unprofessionalism, and dishonesty at the university. The medical school was investigated by their accreditor, the LCME and lied during their investigation.
I’m sure other people have similar stories. Now is the time to voice your concerns and contact your state representative. This is one of the few times that your voice matters and have the ability to make a positive impact. The vote is planned for sometime in November.
I’m sure everybody heard about how the last president Kimberly Epsy was fired by the board after she suspended the medical school Dean Wael Sakr. The university really tried to ruin the reputation of Espy, but what nobody talks about is how Sakr is now in the newspaper for unethical conduct, yelling and screaming and destroying public records. It’s shameful. The Board fired Espy because she dared to confront a corrupt system. From what I was told, she was trying to fire unethical people in the medical school after a scandal. A group of faculty members protested the suspension, but they have nothing to say now regarding the unethical behavior.
The sad truth is that WSU prioritizes institutional preservation over integrity and ethics. After firing Espy, the board canceled their national search party by emergency meeting to hire an insider to be president without interviewing outside candidates. My opinion is that the board didn’t interview any qualified outside candidates because they didn’t want somebody from outside coming into the university and seeing their mess. They called it stability, but what they intended was a cover up.
Richard Bierschbach wasn’t the most qualified candidate, he was the idiot. If they really wanted the best candidate for president, they would have interviewed a number of candidates, which they did not. Board member Shirley Stancato said they canceled their search party to save money, but they paid Bierschbach more money than anybody in the history of the university. This is just an example of the corruption at Wayne State and why intervention is urgently needed.
Corruption is like a cancer. It needs to be cut out at first sight or there is a risk that it will spread and take over. The current board members D. Atkinson, B. Barnhill, M. Busuito, M. Kelly, A. Kumar, T. Land, S. Reddy, and S. Stancato have already failed at their job. It’s time that they are removed before more harm is done to the university and student body.
I hope everyone will join in supporting House Resolution Joint U to abolish the current system. Governor Whitmer, alongside former Governors Jim Blanchard and John Engler support the bill. There is bipartisan support with both Democrats and Republicans onboard.
You can find your local representative or senator using these links. You can call up their office or send an email. The board has already carried out a public relations campaign of interviews, editorials and televised appearances to kill the bill. Now it’s your chance to fight back!
https://www.house.mi.gov/AllRepresentatives
Or you can contact these legislators directly who are familiar with the issue:
Senator Winnie Brinks -
senwbrinks@senate.michigan.gov
Rep Ranjeev Puri -
ranjeevpuri@house.mi.gov
Senator Sam Singh -
SenSSingh@senate.michigan.gov
Senator Singh publicly acknowledged that the current system is flawed and in need of change. However, Singh wants to allow current members to finish their terms. It makes absolutely no sense that he acknowledges the system is broken, but he wants the same people who broke the system to stay in place. Hopefully, someone can speak some sense to him!
Welp, just got an email that I sent over last week saying that the Financial Aid office has not started packaging graduate awards yet, but that they’ll do it within the next 1-2 weeks. I’m fine, everything’s fine… 🙃
Hey guys, as the title suggests I’m waiting on my MI achievement scholarship to be rewarded. My other scholarships through Wayne have been rewarded but not the one through the state. Anyone else waiting on theirs? I’m nervous because I only recently submitted my FASFA (I literally forgot to hit my submit after my mom completed her portion of what was needed), but it says my FASFA has been received as of today. Any help would be appreciated!
anyone have any advice for parking at the school of business?? parking pass pricing is outrageous! i’m planning on not purchasing a parking pass and paying the day rate at main campus with my one card. is the q line my best option? thanks
Hey all! I built a free workout tracking app called Fortis: Workout Log & Tracker (iOS and Android) and looking for some Mines students to try it out.
Figured this crowd would be a good fit honestly. Between the SRC, South Table, and whatever else people are doing to decompress from the STEM grind, there’s a lot of training happening on campus. Fortis is basically Strava but for lifting, custom exercises, templates, progress tracking over time, and the ability to share workouts with friends so you can actually see what other people are doing.
Still early but it works well if you’re trying to stay consistent. All feedback welcome, good or bad.
Anyone working out regularly, give it a shot and let me know what you think 😁
Exactly what the title says! In the fall I'll be a part time mortuary science, which is 9 credits. However, I was awarded the Gold Transfer Award and I need to be full time (so 12 credits??) to use it. What are some fun electives that are worth at least three credits??? If it helps at all I'm interested in theater, geology, and ANYTHING biology/health/animal related.
Hello, I am an undergrad transfer premed student. I'm aware this is a terrible grade for premed, I've never had a grade this low. Basically I finished organic chemistry I with a C-. I'm able to register for organic chemistry II. Excluding medical schools, I'm just having trouble figuring out if a C- = C in wayne state's grading or not, since I had above 70%. Am I able to even graduate with a C-? Or would I have to retake it down the line?
