Dear MSU students who are parents,
MSU Student Parents on a Mission (SPOM) is an MSU organization to support MSU
students who are parents. Currently, SPOM is having the 2015 Holiday Gift Program “Wish

which include a whole big turkey and other foods for your family.
Besides these programs, SPOM had many FREE, helpful and interesting events and
