You don’t need to pick up a comic book to see superheroes scaling buildings; the Infrastructure, Planning and Facilities team does it even better in real life. Here, an IPF crew member cleans the windows at Spartan Stadium. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.

So much depends on a laundry cart, lined with plastic, outside Snyder Hall. Poetry aside, these carts did some heavy lifting this weekend, as approximately 14,000 students made their way to residence hall move-in. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
President Stanley (center-right) stopped by the Residential Initiative on the Study of the Environment, or RISE, to check out hops harvested from Bailey Hall’s greenhouse and urban farm. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
After braving the heat outside during move-in, Spartans got a chance to cool off at Munn Ice Arena. For students who missed out on this icy opportunity, there are still many events to come during Fall Welcome. Visit the Department of Student Life website to learn more and view the full events schedule. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Campus has featured foliage of every color over the past few months but, as fall semester begins, there’s no better time to bring out the Spartan greens. We especially love this verdant landscaping outside of Landon Hall. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
A big welcome to campus! We love a family who is decked out in Spartan green. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
A Spartan family gets organized during move-in at Shaw Hall. For all visitors to campus, masks are required indoors as part of our COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. Check out the Together We Will website for the latest updates. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
McDonel Hall Resident Assistants jump for joy at the start of a new semester. Resident Assistants, part of the Residence Education and Housing Services team, work within the residence halls to ensure a positive experience for all who call campus home. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
An early morning near the MSU Main Library created a golden opportunity for this shot of the full moon at sunrise. Photo by Tom Volkening.
For the College of Human Medicine’s class of 2025, a white coat marks the beginning of a long journey. 190 new medical students, along with friends and family, gathered at the Devos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids and received white coats as the first step in a four-year journey into the medical field.
