context. Engaged teaching may be for-credit or notfor-credit, guided by a teacher or self-directed.

Engaged Service
Definition
Engaged service is associated with the use of
university expertise to address specific issues (ad
hoc or long-term) identified by individuals,
organizations, or communities.
This type of engagement is not primarily driven by a
research question, though a research question may
be of secondary interest in the activity.

MSU International Business Center
Serving 1,945 companies and 23 educational institutions in Michigan
since 2006.
The map represents cities with companies and educational institutions served
in Michigan since 2006 by the International Business Center in the Eli Broad
College of Business at Michigan State University.
As a background, in the spirit of Michigan State University’s “worldgrant”
focus along with President Obama’s National Export Initiative, the IBC has
centered increased attention on helping U.S. businesses thrive in the global
marketplace – with a particular emphasis on our home state of Michigan.
Nationwide, since 2006 the MSU International Business Center has served
12,137 companies and 176 universities and educational institutions with
training, development, assistance, research, and much more (and double
those numbers since its founding in 1988).
Given the nation’s increased focus on exporting since President Obama’s
2010 State of the Union speech in which he highlighted the National Export
Initiative, we are delighted to be part of the international business and trade
solution in Michigan and across the country.
The International Business Center (ibc.msu.edu), started in 1988, has been
designated as a National Resource Center by the U.S. Department of
Education since 1990. IBC’s mission is to provide superior education,
research, and assistance to businesses, public policy makers, academics, and
students on international business and trade.

throughout the form;
