Advice for Freshmen:

My advice for freshman is to step out of your comfort zone and try things you have never done before. Open yourself up to new experiences. It’s important to surround yourself with a diverse group of people and to learn about other cultures or ways of life.

How has New Maroon Camp impacted you? :

New Maroon Camp taught me how to open up and be my authentic self. I gained a support system and second family from this organization. I met so many people that I would not have without NMC. New Maroon Camp taught me how to be confident in my abilities to lead as well.

Favorite MSU Memory:

My favorite thing about MSU is that whether you are interested in Greek Life, joining organizations, or just doing your schoolwork there is a place for everyone, and the people at MSU make everyone feel welcome!
