Meet Taylor Toth — a spirited and engaged senior from Milford, Michigan, whose Spartan pride runs deep. A double major in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy and Social Relations and Policy, Taylor is a member of the Honors College, James Madison College, the College of Social Science and the Broad College of Business. With a passion for leadership, service and law, she is honored to represent Michigan State University as part of the 2025 Homecoming Court.
For Taylor, MSU is more than a university — it’s a second home, shaped by family tradition and personal growth. As the daughter of Spartan alums, she grew up attending MSU games, shows and events, falling in love with the campus long before receiving her acceptance letter. Her favorite spaces, like the JMC Student Senate Office and the Beal Botanical Gardens, are places where she’s built lasting friendships, honed her leadership and found balance through joy and reflection.
Taylor’s experience at MSU has been defined by her active commitment to community. As Internal President of Empowering Women in Law, President of the James Madison College Student Senate and a frequent volunteer through the Center for Community Engaged Learning, she has worked to ensure that student voices are heard, supported and represented. After graduation, Taylor plans to attend law school and continue using her voice to champion equity, justice and access — wherever her legal journey leads.
As a Homecoming Court representative, Taylor hopes to inspire others to get involved in ways that are meaningful to them — no matter how big or small.
Every action — whether it's volunteering, joining a student org or playing IM sports — helps build a stronger, more connected community. MSU has shaped me into an engaged citizen and lifelong Spartan. I hope to inspire others to take full advantage of all this place has to offer.
