MSU Detroit Early Honors Experience
MSU Detroit Early Honors Experience is an opportunity for rising 8th and 9th grade students to explore the community around them in a new, hands-on experience led by MSU faculty, staff, and students, as well as local experts.
This program let me meet new people and talk to others I already knew, and taught me new things and view things in a different light.
The activities were really amazing and put together. The staff was lovely, and the program should be long term or even become an after-school program.
