School’s First Black Female Graduate Dies At Age 86
In 1943, Marjorie Peebles-Meyers earned her medical degree as the first African-American woman to graduate from Wayne State University School of Medicine. She spent her life as a pioneer, conquering many obstacles and receiving many honors for her outstanding accomplishments.

Career Night Provides Insight, Direction for Medical Students
More than 200 Wayne State University School of Medicine students were on hand on January 9 to search for some insight into the important decisions that they’ll be required to make within the next few years. Career Night is held each year to give students an opportunity to speak with doctors and learn about a variety of specialties. This year, several faculty members and WSU alums volunteered their time to speak with a record number of participants. The evening's events began with a few educational speeches and were followed by several group sessions where students met with doctors to learn about specific fields.

The Fraibergs Celebrate Family Ties To WSU
The Fraiberg family’s long relationship with Wayne State University began during the Depression when Paul Fraiberg enrolled in the mid 1930s. Nearly 70 years later, much of the family’s history is linked to the university.
