College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

CANR’s land-grant mission is about connecting with the people from different places, backgrounds and perspectives. Those relationships are built on trust. Our shared values of inclusion, dignity and respect inform what we do and how we behave as Spartans. 

As a community, we strive to listen and respond to each other in ways that ensure dignity for all. We value the opinions and expertise of our students, faculty and staff to help improve our teaching, research and extension programs. 

Don’t be afraid to share your voice, to ask questions, to be part of the broad conversations in regards to diversity and inclusion. Let’s be a part of making MSU better together.
