The week in photos: October 11–17, 2021
For humans, the changing of the leaves and chilly days can make us crave fresh apples, pumpkin spice lattes and warm comfort food, but for a campus squirrel, acorns are the apex of autumn delicacies. Photo by Nick Schrader.
Berkey Hall sets the stage for the perfect fall day. With vibrant yellow and orange hues, the foliage perfectly complements the mums planted below. Photo by Lisa Mulcrone.
Off to a gig? Perhaps. With brass instruments in hand, members of the MSU Marching Band take a stroll through campus.
If you’ve got an instrument that could use a new home, the Michigan and Michigan State Marching Bands are collaborating to support Detroit Harmony, an initiative that secures instruments and musical opportunities for Detroit students, in an instrument drive being held Oct. 30 at the MSU–U of M football game. Donors can drop off instruments at the game, or visit Detroit Harmony’s website to find another drop-off site. Photo by Lisa Mulcrone.

A perfectly plump pack of pumpkins rests on a bench outside of Yakeley Hall. With the help of students from HRT 213L, Infrastructure, Planning and Facilities has given the historical building’s patio a fresh, modern look, perfectly contrasted by some rustic autumn squash. Photo by Nick Schrader.

While we admire all the autumnal beauty outside, students are hard at work studying, and the Minskoff Pavilion of the Broad College of Business is the perfect place to hit the books. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
