Experience a Summer of Fun and Adventure
ESS helped me prepare for my upcoming college experience by giving me not only financial resources to succeed, but it also gave me a new family and helped me understand my new college life, how to support myself and ways to enjoy my time here at MSU. ESS was accepting of me and everyone else who participated. The memories we made will last a lifetime.
