The Spartan Orientation Station

Hello families and supporters! Welcome back to the Spartan Orientation Station’s Family and Supporter series, brought to you by the NSO Family and Supporter Committee.

In this episode, we’re talking about academic expectations, communication, involvement, and supporting students throughout their first semester. As students begin their college journey, it is important to understand how their academics might shift or their communication may fluctuate. This podcast discusses how families and supporters can use communication and involvement to better support their students' experience here at MSU. Student coordinators at NSO share their experiences and advice for supporting your students' academic success. 

What is The Spartan Orientation Station?

Nervous about starting at Michigan State? Worried about your class schedule, living away from home, or where to even start? The Spartan Orientation Station (SOS) is a podcast hosted by New Student Orientation staff and was created by students for students. This podcast will launch twice a week throughout the summer, and each episode will feature a unique interview with campus departments discussing their services, common misconceptions, and fun Spartan engagement opportunities. When you need help at Michigan State, it is okay to signal SOS! Don’t worry – MSU is there for you.
