Teaching and Learning Environment Funding

The Teaching and Learning Environment (TLE) funding request and allocation process changed beginning with the 2007-08 Fiscal Year budget cycle (budgeting for FY 2008-09). Learn more about the way TLE will be handled going forward.

Enterprise Business Systems Project

The MSU Enterprise Business Systems Projects (EBSP) is working to create connected administrative business systems and improved processes for MSU's finances, human resources and research administration.

Project Prioritization Process

Many projects require time and attention for resources across multiple units. The goal for MSU's project prioritization process is to plan effective allocation of resources and identify critical-resource bottlenecks that could arise as multiple projects compete in the same time period for certain critical resources.

Institutional Memberships

Membership in various professional associations provides higher education institutions a network of knowledge, support, and collaboration. The dedication and willingness of members to actively share ideas and experiences helps MSU understand academic trends, adapt to new technologies, and act on new opportunities. There are a variety of national and regional professional organizations in which MSU staff members maintain institutional memberships.
