His scholarship demonstrates a consistent theme: research must serve people. By bridging science and real-world application, Dr. Guskiewicz has not only advanced knowledge but also saved lives and improved the wellbeing of countless athletes and individuals affected by brain injuries.
Now as President of Michigan State University, Dr. Guskiewicz brings this same spirit of impact to higher education leadership. His vision is bold and student-focused: to position MSU as a talent hub for Michigan and beyond. This means creating pathways for students to thrive, connecting education to opportunity, and ensuring that MSU’s research and innovation drive societal progress.
At the core of his presidency is inclusivity. He emphasizes a campus culture where every student, faculty member, and staff feels valued and empowered to contribute. By aligning MSU’s strengths in research, teaching, and community engagement, he aims to ensure that the university remains not just relevant, but essential, in solving the challenges of our time.
Dr. Guskiewicz’s leadership reflects a broader understanding of the role universities play in the global community. In an interconnected world, talent is the greatest resource, and higher education institutions must prepare graduates not just for local industries, but for international challenges and opportunities.
At MSU, his focus on innovation and collaboration resonates with the university’s mission to strengthen both Michigan’s economy and the broader academic community worldwide.
