Office Values

As part of our strategic planning process and with input from the staff and the MSU core values, we developed our OSP/CGA values: Quality, Fairness, Integrity, Respect, Service, and Teamwork, i.e., "Quality FIRST".

Quality: Work with care to achieve complete and consistent outcomes; show commitment to efficiency, which means less waste, redundancy, complaints, and burden. Quality outcomes result in higher satisfaction, success, commitment, support, and trust in working together toward future goals. F(Fairness): Attentive to flexibility and equity, using reasonable judgment while balancing the interests of clients, employees, and requirements to achieve quality outcomes. I(Integrity): Demonstrate honesty and strong ethics, leading to trust and accountability. R(Respect): Considerate with clients and co-workers, acknowledging diversity of perspectives, capacities and responsibilities. S(Service): Committed to providing support to faculty, scholars, research administrators, and other project personnel, adding value to MSU’s mission and sponsors’ intent. T(Teamwork): Demonstrate collaborative and coordinated efforts by working effectively with each other across offices, VP units, campus and with MSU Sponsors. Promote personal and professional growth and organizational development.
