Strategically located between the upper Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway, and only a short river crossing from Windsor (Ontario), Detroit has maintained its role as one of the nation's truly international cities. The long, productive partnership between the city of Detroit and Wayne State University is based on an intrinsic kinship: Both have a tradition of welcoming men and women of diverse cultural backgrounds, and both are committed to the democratic dream of equality and opportunity.
