This year, Spartans from near and far are being asked to “glow” green for Homecoming week! MSU’s Homecoming will take place October 17-22. This year’s theme is “Glow Green, Go White”and the university is hoping to start a new tradition, which calls for Spartans to switch out their porch or house lights to green ones during homecoming week.

Red Cedar River Memories

Published on by MSU Human Resources4 Comments

Have you taken a long walk along it with a loved one? Or fed the ducks by the Administration Building? Maybe you’ve viewed the graffiti under the bridge by The Rock? Or did you canoe through it? No matter which of these you’ve done (or maybe you haven’t done any at all!), we all seem to have great memories of the Red Cedar River on MSU’s campus. It flows through the historic and central parts of campus, and it’s difficult to pass by without noticing it. From hurried faculty and staff on their way to a class or meeting, to couples enjoying a romantic picnic, the Red Cedar has thousands of people visit each year.Continue Reading… Red Cedar River Memories
