Neighborhood News: WSU grows through satellite campuses

Wayne State's satellite campuses are the focus of a feature story examining the university's outreach efforts. Cynthia Ward, described as Wayne State's top official in charge of extension programs and satellite campuses, says the additional classroom space available at Trinity Catholic High School, in Harper Woods, will allow for an expansion of class offerings. In addition to Harper Woods, the university offers classes in Farmington Hills, Clinton Township, Madison Heights and northwest Detroit. This month, Wayne State will open another extension campus in Port Huron. Robert Walsh, who oversees Wayne State\'s operations in Macomb and St. Clair counties as well as in Harper Woods, says the university is trying to raise its profile in the two counties. "We\'re constantly looking for ways to become more visible,\" Walsh said. \"Our real goal is to grow our programs and make them as responsive as we can to the needs of the community.\" Two photos of students and instructors are included. Also included is a sidebar containing statistical and contact information about the university.
