Family of the Year Award

Wayne State College takes great pride in honoring and recognizing our students for their academic and extracurricular achievements. We also feel it is important to recognize families and family members whose love and support are integral elements to a student’s success at WSC.

The selection of the WSC Family of the Year is based upon nominations submitted by Wayne State College students and reviewed by a committee of alumni, students, and staff. The committee evaluates each nomination and makes a recommendation for Family of the Year.
