Meet Erin, 2024 Homecoming Court Member

May 20, 2024

Meet Erin Caldwell — a senior at Michigan State University hailing from Brighton, Michigan. Erin is a passionate and dedicated student in the College of Social Science, majoring in Social Work with a double minor in Human Behavior and Social Services and Resource Management from the Individual, Family and Societal Perspectives. Erin is honored to be on MSU’s 2024 Homecoming Court and hopes to represent a passion for serving our diverse student body and a commitment to fostering Spartan pride and belonging.  

Different experiences throughout her time at MSU gave Erin the opportunity to discover her passions. Erin’s participation on campus demonstrates her embodiment of equity and Spartan excellence. With her continued commitment to providing a sense of community, equity and promotion of belonging, it comes as no surprise that MSU helped to foster her passions. Erin serves as the 55th President of the Residence Halls Association and dedicates herself to advocating for on-campus Spartans through student government. When she is not in class, Erin devotedly works with the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD) as a peer mentor. Her work with the RCPD has led her to become a strong advocate for MSU students with disabilities and has sparked her interest in pursuing working with persons with disabilities in her future role as a social worker. 

In her spare time, Erin can be found enjoying the outdoor spaces around Shaw Hall and near the Red Cedar River; she has also begun playing water polo. Erin’s dedication to her studies and compassion for others truly demonstrates what it means to be a proud Spartan and she is honored to represent MSU as a member of the 2024 Homecoming Court.  

“Get involved and stay involved! There is something for everyone at MSU, you just have to take the time to find out what that means for you. This may be cliche advice...but my college experience became so much more meaningful when I found things I cared about and spent time doing them. I have met some amazing people and been able to do some amazing things because I got involved. I encourage everyone to take a look and find out how they can make their MSU experience their own.”
