“Helpful Spartans” are unpaid volunteers who are willing to be a resource for other Spartans who want to learn something about about an occupation, industry, or business. These people are unpaid volunteers but are not official representatives of or endorsed by Michigan State, so their opinions are their own and may differ from the University’s.
