“Aabiji Bidemigan Bimaadiziwin” peers through the window of Cook-Seevers Hall. The limestone sculpture was created by artist Jason Quigno, an Anishinaabe artist whose works tell the stories of his people through stone, with the intention to keep their memory alive for thousands of years.

Future Spartans who attended Green and White Day made their first mark on MSU via a campus favorite — decorating the MSU Rock.

On a campus of more than 20,000 trees it’s not easy to stand out, but the distinctive hanging branch on the walnut tree in Marshall-Adams Field has earned some time in the spotlight. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Beaumont Tower stretches over the tree line to catch some golden hour light. Though the first days of August feel like the last call of summer, the chimes of Beaumont Tower hardly resemble the final bell. The Muelder Summer Carillon Concert Series still has two public performances to enjoy at 6 p.m. on Aug. 3 and Aug. 10. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
