SOS Student Emergency Fund for COVID-19
A fund established by the Office of the VP of Student Affairs and Services, known as the Support our Spartans Student Emergency Needs Fund for COVID-19 (SOS COVID-19 Fund), has been established to assist MSU students experiencing financial emergencies resulting from the global pandemic. Students may now submit applications for SOS COVID-19 Funds.
For clarity, SOS COVID-19 funds are internal and donor funds are being made available to relieve immediate needs. These resources are not to be confused with the federal CARES Act funds that should be made available in the coming days. The guidelines and process for dispersing those resources are being handled under the office of the Associate Provost for Academic Services.

The most consistent part of life is constant change. You may be transitioning into your graduate program, moving to a new state, changing directions in your career, or making a change in your personal life. You may be in a new phase of your program or you may be getting ready to graduate and enter the job market. Transitions are a special kind of stress. Come talk with us about ways to navigate and manage the stress and anxiety that often come with change.
Join us for practical tips and engaging discussions! Virtual workshop is facilitated by Meg Akehi from MSU Counseling and Psychiatry Services (CAPS).
