Our mission is to prepare students to excel in a complex, rapidly changing society driven by technology and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our newly regained college status has made this a time of both challenge and opportunity.
Standing on our own as a college we need to secure the resources that will allow us to maintain excellence and innovation in instructional/research facilities, academic program and student scholarship support. Our ability to develop financial resources is a critical source of our future success.
Please stand with us by making a generous contribution to these major areas of need as established by the College.
As a premier Land Grant college, MSU has always sought to make excellent higher educational opportunities available and affordable. The Lyman J. Briggs Scholarship Society honors the spirit of our namesake and inspiration who discovered his love for the sciences in the class of 1893 at what was then Michigan Agricultural College.
Contributions to this dean's discretionary fund are critical for the College as new and innovative ways are sought to enhance the integrity of our academic and performance programs, support research and retain the highest quality faculty. This Fund provides the dean with the flexibility to direct funds to areas of College priority.
Dr. Dutton chaired the committee that would ultimately launch Lyman Briggs College and served as its first dean. Dr. Dutton’s vision for LBC was to obtain the finest resources necessary to support professors, curriculum and facilities in bringing excellence to undergraduate education.
