A profile on Kurt Metzger, director of research for United Way of Southeastern Michigan, mentions Wayne State several times, noting that Metzger is the former director of the Michigan Metropolitan Information Center here. While employed at WSU for 15 years, Metzger "oversaw the documentation and investigation of trends related to urban population and housing, conducted research and developed education and service programs to improve understanding of population and housing patterns in metro Detroit and America ," the article says. A photo caption also mentions that Metzger is "leaving his job as a demographer at Wayne State ."
