As Clarence Dass was nearing graduation from high school in Orchard Lake, Mich., this forensics state champion had his pick of schools. George Ziegelmueller, Wayne State's director of forensics, told Clarence that if he came to WSU, not only would he get an outstanding education, he'd also experience the real world — and help other people, too. Clarence went on to become an Honors student at Wayne State, excel at extracurricular activities and community service, graduate magna cure laude and go on to law school. He is now an attorney in Detroit at the firm of Gurewitz & Raben, PLC. Clarence makes a point to assist the Chaldean community, staying involved with the Chaldean American Bar Association and the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce. Wayne State University offers the advantages of learning in a research environment to more first-generation, minority and nontraditional students than any institution in Michigan. At Wayne State, the first discovery you make may be your own potential. AIM HIGHER wayne.edu
