Maria SerratoWe are delighted to announce Maria Serrato as the newest member of our MAET team. Maria officially joined us in April as our new Program Assistant. Maria comes to us from University Advancement, where she served as the Lead Coordinator for the MSU Greenline telemarketing program. She has worked with the University since 2013 in a few offices across campus, so she brings with her a wide array of experiences. In July, Maria will be finishing up a Bachelors of Arts in Interdisciplinary Humanities with a focus in Community Development, English, and Women’s Studies with a Specialization in Chicano Latino Studies.

Maria is the proud mother of two beautiful daughters and has been a part of the East Lansing community since coming to Michigan State in the Fall of 1999. Giving back and helping others is very important to Maria. She has served as a Crisis Intervention Counselor, Community Educator, Assistant Coordinator for MSU’s Annual Dia de la Mujer Conference, and has recently started a new initiative called Capital Area Latina Youth (CALY). This program fosters empowerment, education, cultural advancement, and leadership among Latina youth in grades 4-12.
As Program Assistant, Maria will often be the first point of contact for students interested in the MAET and graduate certificate programs. She will also handle student inquiries and admissions.
We’re excited to welcome Maria to Team MAET!
