The Sophomore Surge is no longer recruiting Surge Mentors for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Surge Mentors are MSU students who will be in their 2nd year or higher in Fall 2021. Mentors will be trained, supported, and empowered to shape the futures of the next incoming Freshman class throughout their first year of college in order to Surge students into their sophomore year. See additional requirements and efforts of Surge Mentors by visiting About Sophomore Surge Mentoring.

We are still accepting mentor applications for the 2021-2022 academic year.
