My Spartan Story: Documenting Co-Curricular Learning on the Spartan Experience Record
My Spartan Story, Michigan State University's co-curricular record, formally recognizes and supports student learning beyond the classroom. Launched in 2020, the record documents student engagement and learning in non-credit-bearing activities such as leadership positions, on-campus jobs, internships, research projects, community engagement, and other out-of-class learning experiences. As a university-wide initiative at a large, decentralized campus, we have seen incredible growth from 200 positions to nearly 600 in under two years in partnership with faculty and staff. Once verified, students can request their Spartan Experience Record (SER) alongside their transcript through the Registrar’s Office, providing students with a shareable record of their knowledge and skill development. The session will introduce you to the foundations of the co-curricular record, lessons learned launching a university-wide initiative, and opportunities for continued and sustained growth of the record.
Presenters:
- Lance Sharp, My Spartan Story Coordinator
- Sarah Schultz, Director, My Spartan Story
