We are saddened to hear about the loss of former Wayne State University warrior Tom Skerritt, who died Oct. 21 at the age of 93. The Detroit-born actor began his acting and theatre training at Theatre and Dance at Wayne after graduating from Detroit's Mackenzie High School and serving in the U.S. Air Force.

"I learned a great deal about myself when I started at Wayne State," said Skerritt in 2014 during an interview with FOX-2 Detroit. "I had no idea what I was going to do but everything that I came to be started at Wayne State."

In 2007, Skerritt was honored by WSU for his connection to the university and extensive career. He also returned to campus in 2014 for a public Q&A event hosted at the Hilberry Theatre by the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance.

Grace (also pictured with CFPCA Interim Dean Kelly Young) epitomizes what it means to be a Warrior Trailblazer, demonstrating exceptional innovation by transforming WSU's art collection into a "museum without walls."

Many congratulations to all of the Wayne State CFPCA employees who were honored this year. Thank you for all you do (and more)!
