MSU Detroit Sponsored Events (Effective July 1, 2025)

Due to the limited resources available to carry out the mission of the University, careful consideration should be made when departments sponsor external entities. In all cases, sponsorships must be in support of academic, programmatic, or broader University missions. As a building considered a university space, the MSU Detroit Center is governed by these guidelines   An explanation thoroughly documenting the business purpose of the sponsorship must be provided with all reservations and may not exceed 4 per organization/per year or exceed a value of $500.  This policy is aligned with Michigan State University Policy UW-02-05  All other users must submit Reservation Forms and Facility Use Agreements and will be required to adhere to the Detroit Center Fee Schedule

Sponsorship: A relationship with an entity where that entity provides money, goods or services to the University through a college, school, department, unit or student organization, and in return, the entity receives Acknowledgment and/or Benefits. Sponsorship differs from charitable gifts, which are provided without expectation of tangible Benefit.

 

Sponsored Project: An activity of defined scope and goal generally undertaken by University faculty, often with involvement of students and staff, utilizing University facilities and equipment and conducted with financial and/or other valuable support from an external Sponsoring entity. Sponsored projects may include basic and applied research, scholarly activity, training, instruction and instructional design, public service and other creative endeavors and are otherwise defined and governed by Section 315 of the Manual of Business Procedures.
