~ from the Math Corps Mission Statement

The key to student success more than anything else is the active involvement of our students' families. We respectfully ask and expect that all of our parents/guardians will work to uphold the following high standards and expectations that we hold for all of our students:

1. We expect every student to attend every day, on time and prepared to learn.
2. We expect every student to have his/her homework completed everyday.
3. We expect every student to carry herself/himself in a manner that is respectful to all and befitting students learning at a major university.

The program runs for six weeks in the summer, for ten Saturdays during Wayne State’s Fall semester and for ten Saturdays during Wayne State’s Winter semester.
