Letter from the Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer

Greetings, 

Welcome to a new academic year at Michigan State University! Whether you are new to campus or returning, please take a moment to reflect on your individual goals and our collective aspirations as we move forward together in community. With a clear vision and shared purpose, this semester is a chance for us to come together and continue building on inclusive excellence for all.

As the university strives to fulfil its mission of advancing knowledge and service for the common good, you remain a top priority. We remain committed to providing access to opportunities that nurture excellence for all students, staff, faculty and alums.

In the days and weeks ahead, I encourage you to make new connections and help foster a welcoming and supportive environment for both new and returning community members. The relationships we build, the conversations we have and the ways we support one another are central to creating a university where all Spartans can thrive.

Let us move forward together with intention and purpose. Best wishes this fall and beyond!

Go Green!
