DETROIT -- The Eighth Annual W Week concluded on Saturday with the W Day Brunch inside the Multipurpose Indoor Facility with over 300 guests on hand for the event.  The week of activities is devoted to celebrating the past 42 years of women's athletics at Wayne State and included a movie night for the student-athletes, a health fair, the annual Academic Recognition Luncheon and a Basic Needs Drive.

Kacee Must of Citizen Yoga was the keynote speaker.  She spoke to the crowd about her journey and how Citizen Yoga grew out of a need to equip people with necessary and effective coping mechanisms that can be applied in any facet of daily life. Grounded in connection, Citizen Yoga exists simply for every student to feel seen. Our goal is to empower the individual by teaching a safe, alignment-based practice that students of all levels can maintain throughout their lives. (Courtesy of CitizenYogaStudio.com).
