5. International Program
Organization
MSU has a history of international
research and outreach involvement, but
changes in funding resulted in a decline
from what it was in the ’80s
Programs have also become highly
decentralized, which causes challenges
Little or no coordination of risk
management

Opportunities to become more involved
in international food and agriculture
projects prompted Dr. Mark Keenum
to propose that we consider creating
a campus-wide International Institute
that would encompass these and
other strengths at MSU.

Activities
Creating an International Institute
provides the opportunity to foster
coordination of international research,
outreach, and academic activities at

be?
