About the Global Engagement Speaker Series

This new guest lecture series brings individuals of distinction from higher education, global organizations, and philanthropies who have had profound experience in university outreach and engagement to share their thoughts, research, and practice with the MSU community. Advancing fundamental human rights and meeting basic human needs will serve as the primary foci for the MSU Global Engagement Speaker Series.

Speakers will highlight the role of higher education as a collaborator—working with civil societies, governments, and industry—to anchor secular principles in democratic governance and due process in order to guarantee human rights and advance societal well-being.
