Michigan State is ranked #16 in the nation for international student enrollment, with students from over 130 countries. What an amazing and strategic opportunity we have to reach the nations with the gospel right in our backyard! We have three “on-ramps” this summer for you to get connected with our international outreach. These events have two purposes: 1) to explore and learn more about ministry opportunities, and 2) to have the opportunity to sign up and get connected.
