At Michigan State University, the Pathways Persistence Programs create an affirming and dynamic network of student support. We help Spartans persist, thrive, and graduate by reducing barriers, fostering community, and providing high-impact experiences like mentoring, career development, and living-learning communities.

Rooted in equity, we work to close opportunity gaps and ensure that all students have the resources they need to succeed. This work supports the MSU 2030 Strategic Plan.
