• Health Promotion for Faculty and Staff: Support your well-being by navigating areas of life that affect your health, including work-life balance, and emotional, physical, and social health. Learn more and register for classes, webinars, and more.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): The EAP offers free, confidential support for mental health, work-life concerns, and life challenges for MSU faculty, staff, retirees, graduate assistants, and their benefits-eligible family members. Appointments can be in-person or virtual.
• Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD) - Employee Accommodations: MSU employees, including student employees, can request reasonable accommodations for the workplace. Reasonable employee accommodations are determined through a partnership between RCPD, MSU HR's Employee and Labor Relations (ELR) Accommodations Specialist, the employee, and the supervisor.

The EVPA Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), or EVPA Office of DEI, provides leadership for the strategic planning, development and implementation of the overarching diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda, initiatives, and strategic plan to the EVPA portfolio.

The Gender and Sexuality Campus Center is a student-centered campus resource that works to celebrate, affirm, and empower LGBTQIA2S+ members of the Michigan State University community. Through education, engagement, advocacy, and student support, we work to create an inclusive campus culture for people of all genders and sexual identities. We provide intersectional educational and social programming and collaborate with student leaders and campus partners to build community and increase a sense of belonging.

Quest: Building Capacity for LGBTQA+ Inclusion: This program is designed to encourage the growth and development of ally skills and practices over time by providing a greater variety of educational programs and workshops at varying levels and on specific topics and identities.

Founded in 1968, the Office for Inclusive Excellence and Impact has been instrumental in ensuring that Michigan State University’s public land-grant identity and strategic priorities align with its core values, toward mission attainment.

The unit leads and coordinates a range of initiatives and programs that aim to build community across the institution through partnerships with university leadership, faculty, staff, students and alums, grounded in a foundation of dignity, respect, empathy and accountability.

In compliance with applicable federal and state law, Michigan State University is an equal opportunity institution and maintains affirmative action programs as required for compliance with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Act of 1974, as amended. 

Through campus educational offerings, consultations and partnership, the Office for Inclusive Excellence and Impact supports MSU’s fulfillment of compliance requirements and our commitments to operational excellence.

The Office for Inclusive Excellence and Impact, or IEI, coordinates university-wide programs that honor contributions made by individuals and communities that are dedicated to civil rights, justice and freedom. Spartans are recognized for their exceptional and innovative contributions toward advancing inclusion.

With the support of IEI, programs are developed by committees, and MSU students, staff and faculty are invited to participate as volunteers on any of the committees listed on this website. 

We recognize that our community is significantly enhanced when the diverse perspectives and varied life experiences that each individual contributes are respected and valued. Therefore, the Office for Inclusive Excellence and Impact seeks to create working and learning spaces that are equitable and welcoming to all.
