Math Corps

Math Corps A nationally recognized academic enrichment and mentoring program dedicated to student success!

The WSU Math Corps is a combined academic enrichment and mentoring program that brings middle and high school students from Detroit public schools together, with college students, to learn mathematics from each other, as well as to interact with professional mathematicians in a university setting. It is based on the dream of creating a self-perpetuating “corps” of students from middle school throu

gh college, who excel academically, hold values that breed success in general, and who, through strong mentoring relationships, pass their knowledge and their values on to younger students, who in turn do the same. In a world where the dreams of children are so often unfulfilled or not even encouraged, and where the obstacles to success are so daunting, the Math Corps has, from the beginning, been about making a difference and changing lives. At its core, the Math Corps is about a very simple but unwavering belief—that all children have a unique and special greatness within them, and that through hard work and a commitment to excellence, and with the support of a caring community, this greatness can be realized.

We are so grateful for our friends at Henkel! 🎒

Every year, Henkel employees come together to purchase and stuff backpacks full of supplies, and deliver them directly to Math Corps sites across the country. It's one of our favorite traditions, and it means the world to our students and staff.

This kind of hands-on generosity is what makes the Math Corps community so special. Thank you, Henkel, for showing up year after year and investing in the future of our young mathematicians. We couldn't do this without you. ❤️
