Meet our EVP
The Executive Vice President for Administration serves as the university’s chief administrative officer, overseeing operational controls, administrative procedures, and organizational systems that support enterprise services across administrative, academic, and residential units. Aligned with the MSU 2030 Strategic Plan, the EVP prioritizes Operational Excellence to position the university as a next-generation organization.
Within our units—IPF, MSU HR, MSU IT, DPPS, and OEVPA—employees take pride in their work, are deeply invested in MSU’s mission of education, research, and outreach, and go the extra mile to support their fellow Spartans.
Spartan Excellence focuses on building high-performance teams, where every employee is empowered to contribute, innovate, and drive meaningful impact; reflecting our shared commitment to collaboration, support, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Together, we are building a culture that supports our people, our mission and positions MSU for long-term success.
