LBC Campaign Priorities

LBC continues to enhance student success through inclusive and interdisciplinary teaching and advising.

LBC’s faculty are true teacher-scholars who center the student experience while achieving scholarly excellence. Investing in faculty through endowed positions and honorifics strengthens our foundation of excellence and drives our vision to transform what it means to be a scientist. By elevating our faculty’s work, we are shaping a legacy of excellence that will transform education’s future.

Goal: $3.4 million

 

LBC was founded as, and continues to be, a home for interdisciplinarity. We are expanding interdisciplinary research that fosters collaboration and includes diverse experiences and perspectives in local to global discovery and applications. Our research initiatives will drive innovative projects, support student and faculty knowledge production and application, and strengthen MSU’s leadership in academic excellence and global impact.

Goal: $1.2 million

As MSU’s largest residential, degree-granting college, LBC is dedicated to ensuring that everyone sees themselves as a Briggsie and that all who are admitted are provided with what they need to thrive. We’ll expand secondary-school outreach to inspire future scientists, enhance Briggs’ first-year experience with programs in career exploration and leadership development, and improve facilities to recruit, retain and empower diverse talent.

Goal: $1.4 million
