Residential Initiative on the Study of the Environment (RISE)
The Residential Initiative on the Study of the Environment (RISE) is an interdisciplinary living-learning program focused on sustainability and environmental stewardship. RISE provides first-year students at Michigan State University with the resources to successfully transition from high school to university academic life while they live and learn in Bailey Hall, located in the Brody neighborhood. Beyond their first year, many RISE participants are engaged in undergraduate research, hands-on projects, and co-curricular initiatives in which they can explore their interests within a supportive community of students, faculty and staff with shared values.
Application closed April 17, 2026 for the incoming cohort.
