What an amazing day! Groundbreaking for Norfolk student housing last night. Honored to have the community, employers, students, and leadership celebrate this milestone.

Wayne State College, in collaboration with DEG Enterprises and DACO Construction, broke ground for the Norfolk Student Housing development for the Growing Together Career Scholars program in Norfolk. Students will live in Norfolk their senior year during their two semesters of cooperative education.

A true community, campus and cohort effort! Thank you, Dan and Connie Geary, for investing in our student program!
