Welcome,

Thanks for your interest in the future of Michigan State University! I believe that our education system is in need of fresh ideas and that MSU should be beholden to the people of Michigan to act fiscally responsible while staying true to its’ Mission as a Land Grant Institution and training our children to compete in today and tomorrow’s job market.

That is why I’m running for MSU Board of Trustees. As a lifelong Michigan resident and former MSU student athlete, I’ve experienced firsthand that MSU can be great, but that over the last two decades we have wandered off the right path.

Instead of investing in students and the economy of Michigan, MSU’s leaders chose to force social engineering into the classroom while wasting valuable taxpayer and alumni money on reckless ventures such as the no longer in use Dubai, United Arab Emirates campus. Our state is hemorrhaging skilled workers at an alarming pace and, sadly, more than half of all MSU graduates are fleeing the state to find adequate employment.

I believe that it is not too late for MSU to be great again.  I believe that with the proper training our best and brightest will stay in Michigan working with us for a better tomorrow.

Please give my biography, issues, and endorsements a thorough review. With your help and support MSU can once again become the preeminent Land Grant University in the nation!

Sincerely,

Mitch Lyons
