Learning & Development

Mission

In support of the Human Resources mission and in alignment with anti-racism principles, Learning & Development fosters community and leads change by providing equitable access to news, tools, programs and benefits that support personal growth, professional development and organizational wellness so that every employee can develop meaningful relationships and realize their full potential.

Professional Leadership Development

Professional Leadership Development offered by the Learning and Development team provides various offerings that meet the needs of all employees (all faculty, staff, and student-employees) and leader-levels, and supports Pillar V of our MSU Denver 2030 Strategic Plan. 

“MSU Denver will continue to improve compensation, benefits, professional development, and our infrastructure backbone, while becoming a more representative workplace and enhancing our inclusive leadership environment – allowing leaders to lead from all levels of the University.”​​​​​​​

All programs and resources are grounded in our MSU Denver core CADRE values and are aligned to our MSU Denver mission and vision. We invest in our people as we work together to be in service to our students.
