We hope you enjoy this edition of the Graduate School's Illuminating the News, which is devoted to the themes of Leadership and Resilience. We’ve all made it through the Spring semester and through over a year of pandemic disruptions, and Summer has arrived with some real hope for respite. I want to express my appreciation for all our alumni, friends, supporters, and readers; for the personal resilience and everyday leadership you've undoubtedly demonstrated through these times. While it will take some time for things to fully rebound, I hope that this summer you will find some time to recharge. Finally, I want to wish all our MSU graduates great success as they celebrate and embark on their next chapter!

We engage with our donors in a variety of ways. For a sampling of our events, click the image above for a recording of the Good Trouble virtual documentary film lecture and discussion which took place in January 2021 and was led by University Distinguished Professor, History & Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Dr. Pero Dagbovie, and held in association with the MSU Alumni Office. Stay tuned for our updates on Graduate School events in Fall 2021!

During the Spring 2021 semester, the Graduate School hosted 3 virtual events highlighting our Diverse & Inclusive Learning Communities, University Distinguished Fellowships, and the Dr. Karen Klomparens Endowment in Support of Graduate Fellowships. Click below to donate toward associated funds.
