Spring 2026 Academic Lunch and Learn Sessions

Join us for these opportunities to learn, connect with others, and make meaningful contributions–to share excitement about one’s field with other learners, to advance the knowledge base, and to use one’s expertise to address pressing issues at MSU and in the broader society.

Faculty and academic staff in all appointment types are invited to attend. These academic lunches are intended to be no-pressure, enjoyable opportunities to meet others at all career stages, learn about resources, and connect more fully with the university community.  Please bring your lunch and join us!
