Spartan Project SEARCH 2023-24 Cohort

We have officially kicked off the school year and welcomed our class of eight interns to the campus at Michigan State University. During the summer, interns joined staff on campus to get to know each other, work on team building and communication skills and start learning how to travel safely.


The first few weeks of class, or orientation week, were focused on learning about internship opportunities, getting uniforms and ID badges, getting to know each other, writing resumes and practicing interview skills. In mid-September, interns will interview with at least three of the internship sites and start working on September 18. While doing all of these things, interns are practicing their navigation and safety skills daily to help them get around campus and increase their independence.

Save the Date!

Spartan Project SEARCH Rotation 1 internships start September 18.

Interns spent the first weeks of school learning how to walk and cross the street safely. They also experienced the public bus, CATA, for the first time and are already improving their skills with using Google Maps.


While learning to navigate, interns also visited many campus landmarks and internship sites such as Beaumont Tower, Breslin Center, Spartan football stadium, Brody Hall, MSU Main Library, International Center, Case Hall, Linen Services, IPF Shops and Vet Med.
