**Alternative text:** A large group of approximately 120 incoming Michigan State University Academic Scholars Program students gathers outside the MSU Alumni Chapel for the program's annual Welcome & Convocation. Students, many dressed in green and white Spartan apparel, fill the chapel steps and surrounding walkway, smiling, cheering, and raising their fists in celebration. Several students kneel in the front holding an Academic Scholars Program sign, while faculty and staff stand among the group. The photo captures the excitement, energy, and sense of community as the newest cohort begins their MSU journey.

The Academic Scholars Program (ASP) welcomes its newest members with a special event at the International Center. New Academic Scholars will get to meet each other and hear from upper level Academic Scholars and the dean of the Honors College. All ASP members beginning in Fall 2026 are REQUIRED to attend. We can’t wait to see you soon!

Attire: A green, white, or MSU shirt is encouraged! At the conclusion of the ceremony, we’ll take a class picture.
