Some Spartans don’t just walk the path… they help light it for others.

📷 Meet @MontemayorLiz — @MSUSocialWork instructor in @MSU_SocSci and an @EverySpartan ambassador.

As a first-generation college student and daughter of immigrants, Liz turned her experiences into a lifelong commitment to helping others feel seen, supported, and valued. Her journey has been marked by both strength and loss. And through it all, she continues to lead with purpose.

After more than 20 years working with children and families, she now mentors the next generation of social workers at @michiganstateu. Because being a Spartan isn’t just about where you go — it’s about who you lift along the way.

Liz represents meaning.
She represents purpose.
She represents mentorship.
And now she represents Every Spartan.
We’re honored to have you, Liz 📷
