Get connected, sharpen skills and gain leadership experience.
All Broad students are encouraged to get involved in a student organization, whether it is a Broad organization or one of MSU’s many student organizations. Involvement in a student organization, and the leadership experience students can gain from that involvement, is an important part of the overall college experience. Students take an active role in shaping important issues in the school and are given a voice on significant changes. Broad student organizations provide additional opportunities to network, socialize, learn and enhance skills. When students are considered for internships, post-college employment or even the Broad admissions process, evidence of leadership experience sets students apart from other applicants.
