Go Green! (Go White!) Spartan Project SEARCH made a memorable appearance at this year’s MSU Homecoming Parade, walking alongside thousands of students, alumni, and community groups through the heart of East Lansing.
The crowd was full of cheering supporters as current students, graduates, staff, and families of Spartan Project SEARCH came together to celebrate the program and everything it stands for. The evening was a vibrant display of inclusion and connection, proving once again that everyone deserves a seat—and a spotlight—at the table of tradition.
Spartan Project SEARCH is a school-to-work transition program that prepares young adults with disabilities for success in competitive, integrated employment. And on this night, they were not just part of the parade—they were a highlight of it.
In a world that moves fast, events like this remind us to slow down and celebrate the people, programs, and pride that make our communities stronger. Go Green, indeed.
