Positioning the CANR

Michigan State University (MSU) has been engaged in a comprehensive process that acknowledges constrained state support and emerging societal challenges.This university wide effort is called Shaping the Future . More information may be found at  www.shapingthefuture.msu.edu.

MSU Extension has conducted a vigorous internal discussion focused on re-sculpting itself into a 21st-century organization, while continuing its dedication to furthering the quality of life and prosperity of Michigan citizens. The program now will carry that conversation to its external stakeholders, starting with partners in state government. Learn more about MSU Extension’s redesign process here.

CANR is also involved in an effort to position itself to best serve students, stakeholders, and our community. The following documents help explain the effort.
