Students
As Dean, I have many responsibilities to the Law School. Most importantly, I have responsibilities to students. After all, it is students who are our most important stakeholders.
I am always pleased to meet with students, whether organized groups or individuals, to discuss their concerns regarding matters of general interest. I hold an annual Town Hall to offer students an opportunity to discuss our accomplishments and our ambitions. I also meet regularly with the Student Board of Governors and host events for various organizations.
I believe in student participation in the academic tradition of shared governance. To ensure students are able to address the many policy issues that arise here, I appoint student representatives to the faculty committees. The SBG President nominates individuals and I typically rely heavily on his/her suggestions.
Students with questions about specific matters should contact the Dean of Students Office initially. Our Assistant Dean of Students, Ms. Michele Miller, and her staff are experts in resolving the issues that affect individual students. You may contact Assistant Dean Miller at 313-577-3993 or michele.r.miller@wayne.edu. They can provide advice and counsel as to academic as well as non-academic concerns. If for some reason they are unable to do so, they will do their best to direct you to an appropriate office.
Thank you very much.
