Stanley "Hank" Marx of Birmingham has taken a class at Wayne State almost every semester, earning his bachelor of science degree when he was in his 50s and completing his graduate degree in alternative dispute resolution at age 82. To honor their father on his 80th birthday, his daughters established the Stanley Marx Lecture Series at WSU. Each year, the series features a prominent lecturer. This year it was Congressman John Dingell, who discussed how mediation techniques have been important during his years in Congress. Marx is a respected mediator in the tri-county area and is still interested in courses in a variety of subjects at WSU.
