This resource is intended to provide general guidance to faculty about Academic Freedom, emphasize the importance of campus safety and disseminate the content of important policies, expectations and supportive resources related to civil discourse.

This new university resource hub for AI-related information, tools, research, and events will serve as a central location for our community to access MSU resources and guidelines, explore educational opportunities, and learn about the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field.

In August 2025, MSU released updated Guidelines for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools, which supersede all previously issued AI guidance. These guidelines set clear expectations for ethical, responsible, and transparent use of AI across educational, research, scholarship, artistic endeavors, and administrative contexts.

University Outreach and Engagement supports the engaged activities of faculty, staff, and students, fostering public access to university expertise and resources, and advocating for exemplary engaged scholarship, nationally and internationally.

 

At MSU, students don’t just earn a degree. We are preparing students for the future. The Office of Undergraduate Education works to ensure that all MSU students receive the support needed to learn, thrive, and graduate in a timely fashion.

In the land-grant, problem-solving tradition, MSU’s research breakthroughs are impactful around the world, from the cross-fertilization of corn in the 1870s to successful anticancer drugs in the 1960s, and then to novel approaches for treating and stopping the spread of malaria in the 21st century.
