SEC at Wayne State University
Where we got started, and where we’ve had our biggest impact - thanks to the help of student organizations, individual students, and faculty, Suraye Inclusion at the University Level has been able to bring a slew of changes to Wayne State University that increase reputation and education of the Suraye; here’s what we’ve been able to accomplish!
Student Senate Resolutions passed to include new history and language courses
Declaration of April as Chaldean American Heritage Month
New “Shlama” Graphics added to the Student Center by Fall 2024
Several courses changed
Classes we’ve changed
*Note that some of these courses have not been directly changed and have had this content from the get-go - some of these changes are also tentative and have not yet been implemented, but will be in the future
