The initiatives listed below guides much of the work the Office of the Executive Vice President for Administration and are intentionally focused on supporting the MSU Mission and its People.
Aligned with the university’s 2030: Excellence for Global Impact Strategic Plan, the Office of EVPA is exploring opportunities to be better stewards of university resources; enhance customer service and agility; modernize our systems, processes and policies; and to comport ourselves to the highest standards expected of those who are privileged to expend public funds.
It's important that we continuously look for ways to evaluate our progress and modernize our systems and processes. This ensures effective use of institutional resources and maintains the excellence of MSU's education, research, and outreach programs.
We are committed to a sustainable world and a thriving MSU for future Spartans. MSU has made long-standing commitments to sustainability as a global leader through research, experiential learning, community engagement, and improved operations. While proud of our achievements, we continue to develop strategies that drive our institution forward.
The EPMO manages projects and portfolios for MSU, employing industry best practices to align with university objectives. As part of the Office of the Executive Vice President of Administration, it serves as a centralized hub for enterprise projects. The EPMO ensures a university-wide approach to identify, prioritize, and execute projects in alignment with MSU's mission and strategic goals, facilitating project management activities throughout the institution. To accomplish these goals, we use project management principles, skills, methodologies and tools to lead team members through each of the project management steps which are known as the project lifecycle.
To support and advance the university’s commitment to operational and environmental practices, the Office of Sustainability has launched the Sustainability Systems Think Tank (SSTT)—a cross-functional team charged with providing thought leadership and developing a comprehensive framework to guide campus sustainability efforts.
The 12-month initiative will shape long-term program direction, prioritizing policies and practices that position MSU as a living laboratory for sustainability teaching, research, and operations. Learn more
