This year's recipients have been announced! The Excellence in Diversity Recognition and Awards Program (EIDA) was created to promote and encourage support of diversity by recognizing individuals, teams, units, and organizations that have performed above and beyond what they were hired or designated to do, to demonstrate outstanding leadership and creativity in the area of diversity. In the spring of each year, the program culminates with a ceremony to recognize winners of the award.

Racial Equity Taskforce
MSU has a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. President Stanley has identified three initial issues: campus climate and safety, policing, and the diversity of faculty and staff. A DEI steering committee has been working on these initiatives. Task Force recommendations and initial responses are available for review.
