Core Values
Wayne State has identified six Core Values that guide the creation and execution of WSC’s strategic goals and initiatives. These Core Values encapsulate the fundamental beliefs of the College and form the foundation on which WSC performs work and conducts itself. Our Core Values also underline how administration, faculty, and staff interact with each other, students, alumni, partners, and other stakeholders. These values serve as a critically important component of the strategic planning process by ensuring the College continually considers its commitment to the attributes that have made us who we are today.
