New students learn about college life
Incoming freshman Thurman Stanton Jr. spent the last five weeks learning how to be a college student. He's one of 26 new students hailing from all over the state who enrolled in MSU's Summer University Program: Excellence Required, or SUPER. The program, created in 1988, is designed to help a diverse group of students gain the academic, social and interpersonal skills needed to succeed in the university setting. Stanton said he's glad he applied for the SUPER developmental course because it's prepared him to adjust to the college workload. "It's tremendously needed," he said.
