Spartan Envoy

The Spartan Envoy Student Ambassador Program is a year-long paid internship opportunity focused on campus safety. The inaugural program, launched Fall 2024, consists of a diverse cohort of students, with varying interests and academic disciplines, interested in understanding and improving overall campus safety at Michigan State University. 

Envoy offers students an opportunity to gain leadership experience, interact with members of the Department of Police and Public Safety and contribute to important campus safety initiatives. Spartan Envoy Ambassadors represent student concerns while gaining a unique perspective on public safety in higher education. 

Student ambassadors will engage in outreach, presentations and tabling activities across campus, ensuring accessibility for student voices.

Spartan Envoy requires a time commitment of 10 hours per week. In addition to weekly seminars, time will be focused on meetings with campus partners and working on assorted projects within the department.

Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year open February 17th. If you have questions about the Spartan Envoy Student Ambassador Program, contact Program Coordinator Allison Martin at martina@dpps.msu.edu.
