Michigan’s Opportunities and Challenges: MSU Faculty Perspectives
In late November 2002, Michigan State University sent the following materials to then Governor-Elect Jennifer Granholm’s transition team. The editors of Michigan Tourism Business are pleased to be able to share these papers with you, since many of them relate to issues faced by Michigan’s tourism industry. Following is the text that was included in the cover letter that was mailed to Governor Granholm, and below that are links to each of the papers (in PDF format—requiring Adobe Acrobat).
“Founded in 1855 as the nation's first land-grant institution, Michigan State University has a proud tradition of public service to the citizens of Michigan, the nation, and the world. Keeping with our land-grant mission, Michigan State University faculty and academic staff members present Michigan's Opportunities and Challenges: MSU Faculty Perspectives to you and your transition team.
This compilation contains overviews of critical issues, problems and opportunities facing the State of Michigan's new executive leadership. Our faculty and academic staff members offer these papers to your transition team in the spirit of bringing scholarship and research-based knowledge and expertise to the public policy arena.
Michigan State University stands ready to serve your administration and the citizens of Michigan. The people of this institution strive, like our university founders, to improve the quality of life for the citizens of this great state. We offer our continuing engagement with your transition team and administration should the need arise.”
