Their mission is to provide a supportive climate that enables women to become full and active participants in the development of policy, decision making, and the achievement of equity. The Women's Resource Center acts in a coordinating role for contacts relating to concerns of women and functions in an advocate role for women's issues while developing and implementing programs targeted for women faculty, staff, and students.

The Office of Radiation, Chemical & Biological Safety (ORCBS) supports the mission and guiding principles of Michigan State University (MSU) through leadership, guidance, education and partnership to promote and establish programs in health and safety, protection of the environment and regulatory compliance.
Olin Student Health Center

The Health Center offers preventive medical care, treatment for illness or injury, and health education - all on an outpatient basis. Our goal is to support the mission of the University and the success of its students by enhancing personal health, removing barriers to academic achievement, and promoting a healthy learning environment.
Sexual Assault Crisis and Safety Education
The MSU Sexual Assault Crisis & Safety Education Program responds to the needs of those impacted by sexual violence and works to create a socially just community: free of violence, abuse of power, and oppression.
StateWalk
StateWalk is an on-campus nighttime walking service sponsored by Apha Phi Omega, a co-ed community service fraternity. Pairs of volunteers walk with individuals from certain locations to their campus destinations Sunday through Thursday during the hours of 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.. The StateWalk office is located at the main library, room W-122 near the Red Cedar exit. In order to request a walk, students may simply go to the office and volunteers should be awaiting them. We all like to think of campus as a safe place, however it is a city too. Don't walk alone at night! For questions or more information, please email apo@msu.edu.
Student Health Insurance
All individuals should be covered by some form of health insurance. Michigan State University is pleased to offer a student health insurance plan through The Chickering Group, that provides reasonable protection against sickness and accidents at an affordable cost.
