MSU Inclusion and
Intercultural Initiatives

The Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives fosters a community that respects and values a broad range of backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences and encourages and creates opportunities so all Spartans can reach their full potential
The Center for Gender in Global Context (GenCen) is focused on gender, sexuality, feminist theory, and women's studies. Its affiliated faculty and students study how people from diverse racial, ethnic, national, and sexual backgrounds live in and engage with the world and how processes of global change affect gender relations locally, nationally, and internationally. 
 The Office assists students, staff members, instructors, and administrators sort through university rules and regulations that might apply to specific issues and concerns within the University. In addition to helping members of the MSU community resolve disputes, we also identify MSU policies that might need revision, and refer them to the appropriate academic governance committee.
