Michigan State University recognizes that students with families have responsibilities that present challenges unique to this student-parent population. Student Parents on a Mission (SPOM) provides an opportunity to network with other student-parents and discover the many resources available at Michigan State University and in the surrounding communities.
Meetings are held monthly during the academic year and feature guest speakers focusing on topics affecting student-parents and their families. Social events and activities are planned for parents and children. Networking increases student-parent access to information in such areas as: employment opportunities, scholarships/financial aid and inexpensive/free activities for families.
