Kevin Guskiewicz has made a profound impact on MSU during the slightly more than two years that he has served as president. From my perspective as Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education, one of the most meaningful aspects of his presidency has been his unwavering advocacy for student success. At a moment when higher education faces enormous pressures and competing priorities, President Guskiewicz consistently and clearly communicated that supporting students is not ancillary to the university’s mission. It is the mission.
