The Leadership Collective supports and positions graduate and professional students to be dynamic leaders and strategically influence their communities while at Michigan State University.
We believe that unleashing the incredible potential of graduate students will have an indelible impact in the classroom, community, university, and the world.
The Leadership Fellows Program (LFP) is a year-long, cohort-based experience created to build a stronger and healthier graduate student community at MSU.
We support, encourage, and provide resources for graduate and professional student leaders to engage in change-oriented work within their disciplines, college, the institution more broadly, and the world.
This is a funded experience that provides each fellow with a peer-network, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
There is a $2000 annual stipend. Applications are due in mid-March.
GROW hosts a robust and ever-growing collection of leadership resources collected by graduate students for graduate students.
GROW helps graduate students find opportunities to develop their leadership skills in their fields, disciplines, and areas of interest.
Serving on the Council of Graduate Students provides you with a unique opportunity to represent, serve, and make meaningful decisions that impact the graduate student community. COGS representatives are chosen by the individual departments.
Getting involved in a Registered Student Organization (RSO) is a great way to create or grow a supportive space at Michigan State University.
These RSOs can be departmental Graduate Student Organizations or special interest groups.
Graduate students are able to serve on a number of committees that impact a wide range of university concerns, including curriculum, police oversight, food and dining, and much more.
