What to expect:

  • Meet your program coordinator and learn what role they’ll play in your success as a Spartan

  • Attend informational sessions on student life, financial aid, career services, study abroad, and more

  • Explore campus landmarks and get to know the go-to spots for students

  • Grab your MSU ID, hit the bookstore, and get a taste of the MSU Dairy Store’s legendary ice cream (for free of course!)
