World-Grant Focus
Under the leadership of its 20th president, Dr. Lou Anna K. Simon, Michigan State University has made global awareness and engagement of our students, faculty, staff, and other constituencies an institutional priority. Just as MSU helped define the "land grant" university in the 19th and 20th centuries, we are now working to define what it means to be a "world grant" university in the 21st century. The Associate Dean for Global Initiatives, Professor Tomas Hult, highlighted that the Broad School's Global Initiatives are developed and implemented to support MSU's world-grant focus, to increase the international competitiveness of U.S. organizations, and to leverage the unique global brand of the Broad School.

Faculty Spotlight
Roger Calantone
Dr. Roger Calantone is the Eli Broad Chaired University Professor of Business and the Chairperson of the Department of Marketing. Dr. Calantone finds an international focus especially appropriate in his specific field of interest: innovation and technology transfer. He stresses that an international perspective is essential as new and unexpected countries develop the next cutting-edge technologies.
In the future, Dr. Calantone would like the students to have the opportunity for greater contact with international managers. He also hopes to see the Broad School foster a long range project to uncover the informational and emotional confluence of buyers and how they systematically differ across cultures.
