ORED and the Office of the VP for Finance are collaborating to offer LevelUP, a professional development program made available by the Society of Research Administrators, International, and free to all MSU faculty and staff. The program features a catalog of asynchronous short courses on extramural funding topics available individually or in curated tracks based on users' needs and/role within the organization. Sessions on specific agencies, federal regulations, proposal development, and others, may be of interest to faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and other non-administrators looking to grow their knowledge of the grants world. Join us to learn more about these offerings, which courses or tracks may support your professional development goals, and how this free program may also support your mentoring activities. Completed LevelUP courses earn CEUs that may be acceptable for your individual professional needs, as well.

Emergency Management
Description
This interactive training course equips Mississippi State University students, faculty, and staff with the knowledge and strategies needed to respond effectively during an active attacker event. Based on the nationally recognized Avoid | Deny | Defend (A.D.D.) model developed by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center, the course emphasizes proactive decision-making and personal safety.
Participants will learn how to:
Avoid danger by recognizing threats early and quickly moving to safety,
Deny access by securing their location to slow or prevent an attacker's entry, and
Defend themselves as a last resort, using physical resistance when necessary.
The training includes realistic scenarios, discussion, and practical steps tailored to the university environment. By the end of the session, attendees will feel more confident in their ability to react decisively and protect themselves and others in a critical incident.

Description
Join us for an interactive workshop where you'll discover—and experiment with—ways to meaningfully integrate AI into student learning experiences. We'll explore practical examples of AI-enhanced assignments and reflective practices, then give you time to tinker with adapting these approaches for your own courses while facilitators provide guidance. This is a space to try things out, troubleshoot, and discover what AI can (and can't) do to enhance student engagement and learning.
Bring a laptop or device with access to generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot) and be ready to experiment with your own course content.
