Mission

The MSU Leadership Institute prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing world by inspiring, challenging, and supporting them through all stages of their leadership journey.

 

Vision

Our vision is for every MSU student to walk away knowing: you can lead, your voice matters, and you have the tools to make real, lasting change in your communities. We believe that when students are empowered to lead with purpose, they shape a future that is stronger, more connected, and more resilient.

 

Values

Collaboration: We grow individually and collectively by working together and learning from each other. 

 

Growth: We learn and improve through a culture of reflection and feedback. 

 

Integrity: We act with transparency and accountability, especially when it’s difficult. 

 

Respect: We create an environment where all members of our community are welcomed and valued. 

 

Adaptability: We thrive in an ever-changing world by being curious, creative, and resourceful. 

 

Impact: We help students develop a sense of purpose and the capacity to affect positive, meaningful and lasting change in their communities.


Place-Based: We utilize the unique resources of our environment to deepen our connections and enrich our learning.
