MSU Freshmen: are you ready for a transformational year?

The Sophomore Surge is here to help!

The Sophomore Surge is a program at MSU where incoming students are guided and supported throughout their first year of college in order to successfully Surge into their sophomore year.

The Surge supports first-year students as they transition to college through exploration, examination, and development of their identity, interests, strengths, values, and goals.

First year students will participate in the Sophomore Surge through enrollment in CLS 101US, US 101US, or BGEN 104US. The Surge Mentor will involve students in a combination of engagement activities in and outside of the seminar classroom, while maintaining a personal, academic, and social relationship.
