Students analyze a device in professor Martin Crimp’s (right) senior capstone Failure Analysis and Design in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The goal of the lab is for each student to find something that has failed in the objects they examine. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.

Rollin' to class in style. As more people are vaccinated and health and safety guidelines continue to evolve, MSU is planning to increase the amount of in-person undergraduate classes offered to 75% for the Fall 2021 semester. Learn more about President Stanley's plan on the Office of the President website.
A team from Flatlanders Sculpture Supply and Art Galleries of Toledo reinstalls “Three Musicians” to its place in Adams field. Ken Thompson and the Flatlanders team restored the piece to its full Cubist glory with much-needed repairs after 80 years of weathering and damage. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
“Three Musicians”, by artist Samuel Cashwan, returns to its home in Adams field after a restoration process. The sculpture was created in 1940 as part of the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project, and depicts a bass player, drummer and saxophonist, cast in concrete. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.

We asked what you wanted to see in the photo gallery. Reader Robert McCarthy wondered what the section of campus that he remembers as "the tundra" looks like now. He recalled cold walks in the 1970s from his residence hall to class at Wells Hall. This photo, taken last week from an upper floor of Holden, shows the current tennis courts, Spartan Stadium, the football practice field, the new STEM building being constructed at the site of the old power plant and Wells Hall in the distance. We hope this brings back warm memories. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
