Our People

Our students tell us they choose Wayne State because it feels like home, a second family. Wayne State College students learn from accomplished faculty. Several are highly regarded as experts and have been recognized with notable honors and awards. And with a low student-to-faculty ratio, our students receive an excellent education in a personalized setting with a friendly atmosphere. Our family is made up of 124 full-time faculty, 87% of whom have their terminal degree. We are led by President Marysz Rames, who was selected to lead the college in June 2015.
