Broad College faculty bring values and strategic themes to life through their research and work every day. For example, Sriram Narayanan, Kesseler Family Endowed Faculty Fellow in supply chain management, has a passionate energy for inclusion. He conducts impactful research that explores how disability diversity can improve workplace productivity and has forged strong partnerships with organizations like the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s Michigan Rehabilitation Services.

This year, Narayanan was honored by MRS with one of its 2021 Champion Awards for his dedicated efforts as a statewide partner. In this role, he has helped create and co-host a new podcast centered on disability employment and inclusion called “Abilities, Opportunities and the Future of Work”.

“Being recognized as an MRS Champion means that [MSU and MRS] have formed a successful partnership,” Narayanan said. “This is a journey, and we will continue working on the broader mission of democratizing ideas that span our multiple stakeholders on disability and employment through the podcast.”
