Several Michigan schools are making commitments to help more students prepare for and graduate from college. Today's White House College Opportunity Day of Action is to help support President Barack Obama's commitment to partner with colleges and universities, business leaders and nonprofits to support students. Wayne State University President M. Roy Wilson is among Michigan education and nonprofit leaders participating in the White House summit and announcing new actions to help more students prepare for and graduate from college. In a statement, Wayne State said it will support the president's commitment in three key areas, including a new initiative to support high school counselors, move more students into the STEM areas of study and career and advocating for transfer students to complete their degrees.
