Giving

The Department of Community Sustainability (CSUS) seeks to serve our stakeholders by conducting research and outreach that translates to real-life solutions that help communities and environments thrive in an ever-changing world.

MSU is an institutional leader in sustainability, highly ranked by the U.S. News & World Report on its list of the “100 Best Global Universities for Environment/Ecology.”

While CSUS has a strong international reach with research in locations such as Malawi, Ethiopia, Uganda, Nigeria, Brazil, Columbia, and India, a major emphasis of CSUS’s work is here in central Michigan. CSUS faculty and staff have worked side-by-side with Michigan communities on initiatives such as food access and food security, local water quality improvement, and innovations in agricultural practices.

CSUS graduate and undergraduate students are deeply involved in this work at all levels, pursuing academic excellence through these transformative personal and educational experiences.

Contributions from alumni, parents, corporations and other benefactors strengthen our ability to foster world-class educational experiences for our students and address important sustainability issues in agriculture, recreation, natural resources, and the environment for the people of Michigan and the world.

Your generous gift – in any amount – will have tremendous impact on the lives of our students, our research, and our academic programs.
