Welcome to Michigan State University
from the Director of Orientation

Dear Parents:

We would like to welcome you into the MSU family! We are pleased your student has decided to attend Michigan State University. We understand the important role you have played in preparing your student to attend college. We also know how important it is for parents, the university, and the student to work together. For these reasons, we invite you to attend the Parent Orientation Program (POP).

The Parent Orientation Program is designed for parents whose students are about to begin their freshman year at Michigan State University. According to parents who have attended in previous years, the Parent Orientation Program is an invaluable experience. The program will acquaint you with various aspects of the university's academic, residential, and student life. Emphasis will be on the transitions and adjustments new college students and their parents typically experience. You will have an opportunity to visit with members of our faculty, administrative staff and student body, and to ask questions you may have as you help your student prepare to come to Michigan State University. It is intended that, as a result of participating in the program, parents will have an enriched sense of sharing in their student's college life.

We are looking forward to seeing you during the Parent Orientation Program. If you have any questions or concerns after visiting the website, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Once again, welcome into the MSU family!

Sincerely yours,

 

Mary Beth Heeder
Director, Orientation Office
Michigan State University
