994 Journeys
Research and Economic Development has planned a great line-up of researchers to share their "994 Journeys" in 2025-2026. During these sessions, we ask our speakers to "tell their story" -- which usually includes some fun background, where they trained, how they came to MSU, and a few key highlights on their research and scholarship.
All presenations take place at 4:00pm and will be held in SUB 233
