May 20, 2024

Tazkira Amin is an exceptionally bright senior from Warren, Michigan. As a student in the College of Social Science, She is pursuing a degree in Social Work with a double minor in Cities: Environment, Design and Society and Global Health and Epidemiology. Further demonstrating her academic achievements and dedication, Tazkira is also a proud member of the MSU Honors College.  

Tazkira believes that one of the things that makes MSU such a special place is its celebration of the individuals that have created our sense of Spartan pride. From civil rights leaders to professional athletes, Tazkira is honored to be able to represent such a diverse and vibrant community as a member of this year's Homecoming Court. Throughout her time at MSU, Tazkira has continuously demonstrated the concept of Spartan service. Her involvement with organizations both on and off campus has reverberated changes across communities. Working with organizations such as the Center for Community Engaged Learning at MSU, Humanity for Prisoners and the Honors College Service Club is just a glimpse into her compassionate nature and dedication to advocating for others. Tazkira is a shining example of a Spartan who serves. 

The library is Tazkira’s most beloved place on campus, as she enjoys being surrounded by books and being able to find solace in the serene halls. Tazkira is honored to represent Michigan State on the 2024 Homecoming Court and hopes that her presence will send out a call to action to fellow Spartans about the powerful impact that serving our communities can have on those around us. 

“If I could share anything, I would urge everyone to move outside of transactional interactions. There is so much love to be shared and beauty in the people on this campus. I encourage everyone to smile more often at people passing by, get to know the person sitting next to you on the bus and thank the unsung heroes of this campus (custodial staff, bus drivers, etc.) when you see them. It will fill you with contentment.”
