Meet Jai Kozar-Lewis — a dynamic, community-minded senior from East Lansing, Michigan, with a passion for business, sustainability and inclusive leadership. A Supply Chain Management major in the Eli Broad College of Business, Jai is also a proud member of the Honors College, the College of Natural Science and the College of Social Science. His studies are complemented by minors in Environmental and Sustainability Studies and Leadership of Organizations. Deeply rooted in the Spartan community, Jai is honored to represent Michigan State University as a member of the 2025 Homecoming Court.
Having grown up in East Lansing, Jai’s connection to MSU began long before his first class. From attending Spartan events as a child to volunteering at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Dinner and Spartan Days of Service, his dedication to this campus has only grown stronger. Now, as a student, he continues to give back by uplifting others and cultivating inclusive spaces for all Spartans.
Jai finds joy and belonging through campus communities such as the Office of Multicultural Enrichment and Advocacy (OMEA) and the Spectrum Consulting Group. These organizations have helped shape his identity and provided the tools for success in his personal and professional journey. Whether through student leadership or academic excellence, Jai is committed to creating lasting impact through the values of equity, access and innovation.
After graduation, Jai aspires to pursue a career in consulting where he can help businesses implement equitable and sustainable solutions while opening doors for those who come after him — especially students from underrepresented backgrounds.
You can often find Jai in the Minskoff Pavilion, his favorite campus spot, where he's built lifelong friendships and engaged with countless resources that have supported his journey. As a Homecoming Court representative, he aims to inspire others to trust their own path.
Get involved. Step outside your comfort zone. Everyone's path looks different and that’s the point. Believe in yourself and know you belong here. You have everything you need to succeed.
