Culturally Inclusive College Reporting System

MSU Extension and the MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) are committed to a culturally inclusive, safe and supportive environment that is free from any and all forms of discrimination, bias, stereotyping, harassment and assault. (See more in the CANR DEI Statement.)

The Culturally Inclusive College (CIC) Sharing System was developed to allow CANR to track and respond to behaviors and situations that work in favor or against our goals of a safe and supportive environment.

At this time, the CIC Sharing System is closed for review and revision to better serve and meet the needs of the CANR community. It will be updated here when the form reopens. 

Dionardo Pizaña and Imelda Galdamez are our specialists in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dionardo will be retiring at the end of 2023.
