The telecommunications giant AT&T is known by almost everyone, but what you may not know about the corporation is their charitable donations. Giving back to their communities is of paramount importance to the company. AT&T has a program designed to let employees choose a charitable organization in which they wish to donate to, and AT&T will then match the employee's donation. The Wayne State University HIGH (Helping Individuals Go Higher) Program is honored to be chosen as a recipient of this program.

Donations such as these help the WSU HIGH Program meet its goal of having every student achieve their dream of earning a degree, regardless of housing or financial challenges. The HIGH Program has made good on its mission; since its inception in 2013, they has helped over 175 students meet their goal of graduating from Wayne State University. With donations like these, the HIGH Program will be able to help even more students, and do its hand in helping the problem of student homelessness on the Wayne State Campus.
