Faculty

The MSU faculty members at KBS are scholars and world leaders in addressing important societal challenges related to climate change, sustainable food and energy systems, conservation of biodiversity, water quality, and related environmental issues.

Through a commitment to teaching, our faculty members serve as role models for our students. They spark an intangible desire in students to make a lasting impact on the world.

KBS is overseen by MSU’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) and College of Natural Science (NatSci), with the majority of our faculty serving these two colleges.
