Tammy Root

With 16 years of experience in higher education, Tammy has a passion for working with students, planning their academic paths, and fostering personal growth. Since 2022, she has been serving as an advisor at Michigan State University, where she continues to support and guide students in achieving their academic and career goals. Go Green!

What I like most about being an advisor is helping students organize their future schedules and helping them towards their goals and dreams.
My most favorite part of MSU campus is definitely any part of the River Trail. It is so peaceful and very unique for a college campus to have such an amazing nature trail.
Spartan Will to me means that we will get the job done!  No matter the struggle, we have the strength to persevere. 
The best advice that has ever been given to me is "feel your feet on the ground."  No matter your emotion, be it happy, sad, tired, mad, feeling your feet on the ground centers you and can get you through any of life's ups and downs.
