Sharing Expertise and Exploring Knowledge Program

This is unique opportunity for doctoral students to:

• Share their expertise and passion for their discipline with audiences outside academia.
• Relate the work they do to larger community contexts.
• Connect with professionals working in different domains.
• Consider venues for public engagement with disciplinary knowledge.
• Develop a public presence to complement scholarly presence.
• Approach their research from a new/different perspective.

The SEEK program staff connect with campus and local organizations that are interested in enhancing their capacity and impact by working with an MSU doctoral students. The scope of work and expectations will be negotiated by the student and community partner.

Professional development support is available to SEEK fellows through the Office of Graduate Career Development in the MSU Graduate School via workshops, small group activities and engagement, and other trainings.

Opportunities are posted on this site throughout the year and will be shared widely as they arise. Fellowship and project support varies depending on the length of the experience, the time commitment, and the scope of the projects.
