In 1909, Detroit's Woodward Avenue became America's first concrete paved highway. While that initial project was historic, continued commitment to the road year after year has helped Woodward evolve into Detroit’s most vital and recognizable thoroughfare.

Every gift to Wayne State University matters, but the commitment of supporters like you who give on a recurring basis has paved the way for Wayne State to be the innovative, dynamic institution we are today.

Like nearby Woodward Avenue, Wayne State has moved people across Detroit and far beyond for over a century. Now ranked in the top 14% of national institutions for social mobility by U.S. News & World Report and continuing to rise in the list of best public universities, Wayne State’s momentum will not stop.

Become a WayPaver by creating a recurring gift at the frequency that works best for you — monthly, quarterly or annually — and join a community of Wayne State supporters who are truly committed to paving the way forward.
