Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
International Studies and Programs works to embody diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our work—from hiring, to interacting with students and visitors, to collaborating with each other and our partners around the world.
In ISP, different perspectives, cultures and voices are the norm. Across campus, ISP has a critical role in internationalizing teaching and learning, supporting the integration of diverse perspectives, cultures and voices into the MSU curriculum. ISP works to make international Spartans—including faculty, staff, students and visitors—feel welcome in our community, and to address challenges they face. In line with the university's core values, ISP works to enable all members of the campus community to develop skills and competencies to engage across global differences. We promote and support diversity, equity, inclusion and internationalization across campus and with our partners abroad.

Bennett, Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer; and Steve Hanson, Vice Provost and Dean of International Studies and Programs provide guidance on how to move forward in creating an inclusive global community at MSU.
