Whole-Person Workplace Column: Call for stories

Tell us how about you. The Whole-Person Workplace Column aims to embrace and encourage the whole person workplace. We honor who our employees are inside and outside of work in the multiple roles they have in their lives. To that end, we are offering monthly features that include a wide range of MSU faculty, academic staff, and support staff, including their lives, hobbies, and motivations outside of work. We learned how we can support each other and cultivate a workplace that honors the whole-person. Please tell us a bit about yourself so that we can get to know each other more and shed light on the unique and wonderful people that contribute each day to the MSU community.

Simply send an email with a photo attachment and the answers to these questions or a free form message of your own to worklife@msu.edu with the subject line: Whole-Person Column. And we’ll include your story on our website and in future issues of our newsletter. You can share it with your colleagues, friends, and family.
