Provide support to a world-class university’s core missions of education, research, and outreach by protecting the integrity of its financial resources through effective stewardship and transparent reporting. The Finance units are engaged in activities to advance the university’s missions to effectively serve the students, faculty, and staff of MSU; save money; strive to improve customer communication, service and satisfaction; improve processes; refine performance metrics; and continue staff development. Finance units have worked together and across campus to develop the message that a world class university needs world class support staff and to improve the way we do things by taking calculated risks and learning from our experiences without the fear of failure.
