Expand all | Collapse all

I grew up on a ranch in Northwest Colorado where my family raised cattle. Through hard work and perseverance, I was fortunate to earn a full-ride academic scholarship to attend Michigan State University for my undergraduate education.

Upon arriving in East Lansing, I quickly fell in love with everything MSU had to offer. From the world class educational opportunities, to diverse student life activities, I found myself truly living the dream of being an MSU Spartan.

Utilizing the knowledge and incredible experience I gained at MSU, I then pursued a career in medicine and specialize in orthopedic surgery. My leadership experience in healthcare will offer a unique advantage in helping successfully guide MSU through unexpected challenges.

I will work tirelessly to ensure our conservative values are represented when developing university policy. It would be a tremendous honor to give back to the MSU Community that has given so much to myself and my family.

Go Green!

  • Oppose Vaccine Mandates for Students/Faculty
  • Control Tuition Costs and Improve Quality of Educational Experience

Campaign website

Menge’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Menge’s Prescription for MSU

With an agricultural background, I am confident in my ability to lead MSU – our nation’s first land grant institution. My priorities for Michigan State will ensure its spot at the forefront of agriculture and help promote it as a global leader in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

  • Ensure the safety and well being of all students, faculty, and staff
  • Improve transparency and accountability to help rebuild trust in leadership among the MSU community
  • Improve educational value through both reducing/controlling costs and improving quality
  • common sense healthcare leadership
  • Continue to grow MSU’s presence as a global leader in education, science, research, and technology
  • Ensure opportunities are available for Michigan students from every background to earn both merit-based and needs-based scholarships[1]
 ”
