A Path to Healing through the Spartan Strong Fund
In the days and weeks following the Feb. 13 tragedy, the entire Spartan community came together to support one another during a very difficult time. Through the gracious support of donors, the Spartan Strong Fund was established to put those impacted and the entire MSU community on a path to healing. Recognizing that the healing process is different for each person, $500,000 of the $2 million fund was designated to reimburse or directly pay for student, faculty, staff and first responder mental health care services. As part of this effort, University Health and Wellbeing (UHW) was designated to assist in the distribution of these mental health care services funds.
It is important to note beyond this effort, MSU has provided health care and tuition reimbursement as well as access to the state compensation program for those most directly impacted.
