Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Message from the President

The purpose of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programming we conducted over the 2020-2021 academic year was to create opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and community members to engage in positive dialogue on race, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We are continuing our programming with the Diversity and Leadership Conference. We look forward to your participation and hope you take full advantage of this opportunity. Our best days are ahead, and we are stronger and better together.

Go Racers!

Dr. Bob Jackson, MSU President
