MORE INFO:
Last July, Wolfe contacted Wayne State University's Women's Studies Program looking for volunteers to catalog 10,000 rape kits that were discovered by the Detroit Police Department. Volunteers worked under the supervision of lawyers from the sexual assault team.

Wolfe and members of her team will discuss how the prosecutor's office deals with the issue of violence against women. The discussion, which is free and open to students, faculty, staff and the community, will also examine career opportunities in women's studies and criminal justice. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.

Wayne State University is a premier urban research institution offering more than 400 academic programs through 13 schools and colleges to nearly 32,000 students.
