This year, MSU welcomes Susan Packard home to the role of Homecoming Grand Marshal as her complete self: an accomplished alum and media industry trailblazer, but also a philanthropist, author, recovery advocate and Spartan committed to service. For Susan, helping others find hope, connection and a place to belong is an important part of what it means to give back — and what it means to come home to MSU.
In celebration of our Grand Marshal, the Spartan community is coming together to support programs and scholarships inspired by Susan's unique journey as a Spartan.
Every dollar donated to the CRC will help fund direct services and programming for students in recovery and those affected by addiction.
This scholarship supports students in recovery at Michigan State University who participate in the Collegiate Recovery Community.
This fund supports programming, resources and initiatives advancing entrepreneurs within Michigan State University's Eli Broad College of Business.
