Before the start of the Fall Semester, the parents and guardians of our incoming student-athletes (freshman or transfers) are invited to partake in the Student-Athlete Parent Orientation. The Student-Athlete Parent Orientation identifies a parent/guardian’s role and provides insight into the transition their son or daughter faces when making the transition to MSU. The program introduces parents to Athletic Department services, the student-athlete experience and defines what it means to be a member of the Spartan Family. This event is designed to provide an engaging and welcoming feeling to our new additions to the Spartan family.
