The Office of Resource and Support Coordination was established in April 2023 to coordinate the university's response and provide resources following a significant incident on campus. Its primary goal is to support the well-being of the MSU community during challenging times.
The ORSC facilitates connections to individualized on- and off-campus support services, such as counseling and mental health resources, academic assistance, financial resources, and updates on safety and security measures. The office also advocates for faculty, staff and students impacted by the violence of Feb. 13. For more information, please visit the Campus Support Resources page.
