1. Offering resources and training for employment and community independence;
2. Training future professionals and service providers through internship and practicum placements;
3. Conducting research to improve outcomes and services;
4. Engaging with communities to promote knowledge translation from research to practices; and
5. Fulfilling the land-grant missions of MSU. STRIDE would benefit from financial support to enhance offerings in Service, Training, and Research.
