As part of its democratic structure, the MSU utilizes dozens of student-led committees from which the policies, procedures, and practices of the organization are created, modified, or rescinded. These committees cover a wide array of topics and interests. Their composition is shared by elected student leaders, and MSU members at-large. These committees will select new members on July 12.

Due to the challenging climate cause by the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person conference has been put on pause this year. However, Horizons is committed to help ease the transition for incoming students and will be using social media and online sessions instead.
The student plans traditionally cover the period from September 1 to August 31 each academic year. For 2020, however, coverage will extend to September 30. Therefore, a recent graduate will keep their coverage until the end of September 2020. Students entering their second through fourth years, can use their 2019/2020 benefits for medical and dental costs until September 2020. Thus, preserving the full amount of 2020/2021 benefit allotments to be used between October 2020 and August 2021.
