Our office aims to provide resources to students while also helping them to advocate for themselves. In line with this mission, we run several programs that run out of our office that are designed to assist and empower students throughout their time at MSU. Whether you are experiencing extenuating circumstances, needing additional support, or interested in getting more involved on campus, please see the programs below to find out how the Dean of Students Office can help.
