At Michigan State University, we appreciate the significant role every educator plays. Here, "educator" encompasses more than just classroom instructors. It includes anyone contributing to teaching, learning, student success, and outreach. This includes Graduate and Undergraduate Teaching Assistants, instructional designers, academic advisors, librarians, coaches, MSU Extension educators, and more.
The "Thank an Educator" initiative, part of the #iTeachMSU Commons since 2018, highlights the diverse roles educators play. It encourages individuals to recognize their contributions to MSU and embrace their educator identity. Most importantly, it celebrates those who shape learning experiences and contribute to student success.
Recognizing someone for their educational impact is easy:
Everyone at MSU is welcome to participate, and there is no limit to how many educators you can thank.
