Bessey & Erickson Halls

Student Engagement Sessions are “mini-courses” designed by faculty and staff members to provide new students information and skills that will promote your success.  Two years of research indicates that students who attended the Student Engagement Sessions earned higher grades their first semester at Michigan State University than the students who did not.  Engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to explore topics that are important and interesting to you in a small group setting.
