MSU leaders are listening and learning – and we’re proud to be part of the conversation!

At the recent Trustees Stakeholder Engagement Forum, UHW shared key insights into the current health and wellbeing landscape at MSU. We highlighted wellbeing behavior trends, recent program enhancements, and the challenges we’re working to overcome—all with a focus on advancing equitable wellbeing for every Spartan.

Together, we’re building a culture of care that supports student success and strengthens our campus community.
