Director's Message

   It is always fulfilling to see people from around the world gathered together in one place with a common goal. For the Visiting International Professional Program, that goal is connection. In our programs, you will find professional development and cultural enhancement that will promote a heightened sense of global awareness in each of you. This global awareness will help you think and act in new ways to make the most of your education, your career and your life.

   Through classes and research in academic departments, attending cultural courses and events around campus and being a part of the diverse community that is Michigan State University, you will have a career-changing, life-altering experience. You will begin to see your work in a new light, you will think more globally and your life will change for the better.

   If you are looking for professional development, cultural enhancement and global awareness for you, your coworkers or your staff, I encourage you to consider VIPP. By exploring this site, you will see how we accommodate individuals and groups, short-term and long-term programs and professionals from countries around the world in our customizable programs in any field of study.

   Whether you are interested in business, communication, agriculture, engineering, education or medicine, VIPP has a program for you. Please do not hesitate to contact our offices or any of our staff for more information. I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Michael F. Miller
