At Jewish Senior Life, we’re thankful for a community 

where residents can actively engage with one another 

and, as a result, remain active in mind, body and spirit. 

It’s far more than a place to live, it’s a rich community 

where bonds of friendship are built or renewed, and 

passions are pursued.

There’s never been a better time to discover our 
beautiful communities in southeast Michigan!

FROM THE JEWISH SENIOR LIFE RESIDENTS AND STAFF

SOME WAYNE STATE STUDENTS 
HAVE A HARD TIME GOING 
TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. 

Not because they’re not tired. It’s because they don’t have a place to sleep. 

When President M. Roy Wilson and his wife, Jacqueline, arrived at Wayne 
State University, the first lady had a chance encounter with a medical student 
who was living out of her car. It was then that she decided something had to 
be done.

Mrs. Wilson founded the Helping Individuals Go Higher (HIGH) Program to 
combat homelessness among Wayne State University students. “Students 
shouldn’t feel trapped into making a choice of survival or success,” she said. 
“The HIGH Program was established to provide resources that assist students 
facing challenges as they pursue their education.”

Today, the HIGH Program provides resources like housing support, 
transportation, child care assistance, textbooks and school supplies, which 
help students stay on track to graduate.

The HIGH Program’s success hasn’t gone unnoticed — it was recognized 
by the U.S. Department of Education for its efforts. Thanks to this program, 
earning a degree is within any student’s grasp. Sometimes, all we need is 
a little help.

of any size — visit highprogram.wayne.edu.
