As Culinary Services, we believe in the work within the ever-evolving field of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) that aligns with the 2030 Strategic Plan of both MSU and SLE. We play an integral part of what MSU’s Culinary Services provides for our campus, from offering learning opportunities for our team members, to collaborating with people within our communities in providing foods that represent the diverse student body of our Spartans. As a student-focused and student-facing department, we seek and listen for ways we can better our policies and practices. We hope to achieve that by providing spaces and food that help all Spartans feel welcome, honored, and celebrated through building long-term, collaborative relationships with students, team members, and the broader MSU community through outreach and engagement.
