ISP’s Global Focus photo contest is now open through Oct. 31

October 26, 2022

At MSU, we believe that every Spartan can be a Global Spartan. Where has your Global Spartan journey taken you?

Exploring the world and opening ourselves to new experiences deepen our understanding of our role in a global society, allowing us to create new connections, opportunities, and solutions. And that’s what Global Focus is all about: inspiring international engagement through the power of images.

For nearly 25 years, International Studies and Programs has invited the Spartan community to share their experiences and perspectives through the annual Global Focus photo contest.

Global Focus recognizes participants who have captured outstanding photos of people, places, moments, and things around the world in three categories: MSU-affiliated students, faculty/staff/retirees, and alumni (including MSU degree programs as well as non-degree education and outreach programs). Photos can be from any time period!

This year’s bonus category is Global Spartan Pride, which highlights the places Spartan gear has traveled, from Mount Kilimanjaro, in front of the Singapore skyline, under the Caribbean Sea—and everywhere in between.

Learn more and enter by Monday, Oct. 31 at isp.msu.edu/globalfocus.
