This is the perfect learning experience for faculty, staff, or students who want to learn how to make their research emotionally-compelling, as well as how to plan, produce, and share these stories using different processes and platforms, including social media.

Preventing food fraud, the act of defrauding buyers of food or ingredients for economic gain, is a growing problem. Stopping it can improve domestic productivity due to fewer illnesses, increased production of safe food for domestic consumption, and a higher value for safer export product.

ANNOUNCING THE MSU GLOBAL INNOVATION CORPS
|
The close of 2014 brought to an end two of the first four inaugural MSU Global Faculty Innovation Fellows projects. Dr. John Spink's Food Fraud Initiative and Dr. Jeff Grabill and Dr. Julie Lindquist's project to investigate teaching writing online and at scale will come to a successful end.
As these projects were winding down, we at MSU Global had to think of an innovative way to "transition" them into their next stages. As Innovation Corps members, MSU Global will make special efforts to continue to showcase these projects and the expertise of faculty at events and share their stories in our newsletters and on our website. Corps members will have the opportunity to mentor other faculty fellows, serving as an expert resource and will also have the option to serve on the MSU Global Advisory Board. LEARN MORE
