From the Provost’s Desk

April 2022

Dear Colleagues:

After a lengthy Michigan winter, many of us look toward spring as a time of much-anticipated renewal. The daffodils behind the Main Library are now in bloom, the forsythia are bursting forth in Beal Garden, and the magnolia buds are unfurling around Beaumont Tower. This academic semester has also been a time of renewal. From the return of education abroad programs to the restoration of our in-person University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum, distinguished faculty recognition events and Spring Commencement and graduation ceremonies, we have eagerly welcomed back cherished practices and events. This academic renewal has been a collective effort and for that, I thank you.

In Closing

Spring is passing, as is this semester. The next academic cycle is weeks away. Renew, refresh, and restore. I look forward to your feedback, guidance, and partnership as together we create the MSU of our shared future. 

My best,

Teresa
