Members of the Spartan community gathered at memorial sites on campus to help Infrastructure Planning and Facilities staff collect and process flowers, signs and other items on March 2. Signs and memorial items will be preserved by MSU Archives and the MSU Museum, and flowers were collected and turned into mulch that will be included at the base of a tree to be planted later this year in remembrance of the students lost on campus Feb. 13.
