Wayne State University President Irvin D. Reid and his wife, Pamela Trotman Reid, have pledged $600,000 to the university, most of which will be used to support an endowment in global education. The rest will support various schools and colleges at WSU, the honors and athletic programs and the Journalism Institute for Minorities. The gift is among the largest ever given by a university president in Michigan, according to Susan Burns, associate vice president for development and alumni affairs.
