Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Team
The Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion and its staff support the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR), its students, faculty and staff, as well as MSU Extension.
Undergraduate students are also supported by specific staff members from the Office of Academic and Student Affairs.
MSU Extension staff also support diversity and multiculturalism through staff training and organizational development for Extension employees to help them provide effective and inclusive programs for the diverse residents of Michigan's communities.
There is also the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee comprised of faculty and staff across CANR and MSU Extension.
