As our campus settles into the relaxed routine of summer semester, the electric energy of finals, residence hall move-out and graduation ceremonies gives way to the chirping of birds, the rustling of wind in the trees and the fragrance of flowers and freshly cut grass. Take a moment to relax, decompress and enjoy MSU’s signature colors through the simple splendor of green leaves and white flowers.

Though it will be a few months before many students return to campus, football fans flock to Spartan Stadium or alumni from near and far return for homecoming festivities, Spartan spirit can still be found all around us. This week, even the flowers and trees seem to be saying, “Go green! Go white!” Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
