Our Mission
Mission
We enrich the undergraduate experience of NatSci students by connecting them to resources and opportunities that facilitate enhanced learning outcomes, reflective meaning-making, and achievement of individuals’ academic, professional, and personal goals.
Vision
To empower NatSci undergraduates to craft an MSU educational experience that aligns with their goals and helps them create lives of meaning, accomplishment, and engagement in the world.
Values
As members of the Experiential Learning Team, we individually and collectively commit to creating an environment of:
Learning
In our programs, actions, and interactions, we foster and practice a mindset rooted
in scientific inquiry, critical analysis, and problem-solving, enhancing academic
learning outcomes and preparing students to approach challenges from a standpoint
of curiosity and logic.
Empowerment
We recognize and celebrate the potential in every person, and we connect students to opportunities and resources that support them in taking intentional ownership of their own education and development.
Equity
We prioritize diversity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility as integral to daily operations, policies, and initiatives, and strive to actively listen and openly question our own assumptions. We work to identify and eliminate barriers that have historically prevented full participation of some groups in higher education and experiential learning.
