You Have A Home Here
Fostering an environment that embraces diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) is essential for the Michigan State community. Live On aids the university’s intolerance of hate and discrimination through communication, education and resident support.
We work to ensure Spartans have a positive experience while living on campus, both in our residence halls and apartments. This is your home during your time at MSU, and it should feel as close to home as possible.

DEIB Educational Resources & Groups
Numerous inclusive programs are available throughout MSU's colleges, departments and neighborhoods, all with the purpose of fostering a more inclusive campus community. These programs are constantly evolving, and are meant to help students, staff, and faculty engage with important DEI topics and provide spaces for productive discourse surrounding those topics.
Additionally, the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion maintains an updated list of resources that you can check out here.
RESIDENCE HALL CAUCUSES
LGBTQIA+ Caucuses
Each of the five neighborhoods has a residential caucus dedicated to LGBTQA+ students. The residence hall groups primarily focus on providing a safe space for personal and social support and furthering education on the LGBT communities. Some groups have their own personal meeting room while others meet in various locations around the neighborhood.
Transcend
Transcend is a campus-wide caucus that seeks to build a sense of community among MSU students who are transgender, nonbinary, and/or gender non-conforming, as well as to defend their rights and advocate for their specific social, educational, and cultural needs. Transcend creates a supportive network to assist in combating the transphobia, cissexism, transmisogyny, and isolation that these students frequently experience.
Black Caucuses
Black caucuses on MSU's campus were first known and organized as “Black Dorm Organizations.” There was an organization that was in existence known as the Black United Front, which represented Black students as a whole on campus, but it was found to be more effective to have a representative group in the residence halls as well. Each of MSU’s five neighborhood has a black caucus.
