Sunshine sparkles on the angles of the MSU Broad Art Museum
Two small red leaves, one of which is in the shape of a heart, peak out behind the green leaves of a Red Maple
Sun peaks through panels that line a bridge, leaving a shadow of dots and circles swishing along the ground.
A lecturer speaks to a group of students in a large hall with stadium-style seating
Two construction workers in orange shirts and helmets work on a row of wood and steal rods
Dew sparkles on blades of grass in the foreground, a blurry image of a dog and a dogwalker is in the background.
Smiling members of the MSU community gather around boxes filled with ice cream snacks
Two blurry hands clasp int he foreground, framing the shape of a heart in the leaves of a tree
A view of a side-view mirror that looks into a yellow tractor, with a worker in a neon yellow shirt driving the machine.
The Red Cedar River rushes along

The striking angles of the MSU Broad Art Museum always create a sense of awe, and a shining sun only enhances the views. Inside the museum is just as interesting — “Resistance Training: Arts, Sports and Civil Rights” is currently on exhibit. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
It’s still summer, but signs of fall are creeping in — leaves of a red maple have started to turn. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Shadows seem to dance on the bridge that spans the Red Cedar between Spartan Stadium and the Main Library. The artwork on the panels of the bridge was designed by then-student Gavin Kata, who won a 2018 competition to integrate student art on the bridge. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
While the majority of graduate and undergraduate students return to campus this week for the fall semester, the College of Law welcomed first-year students Aug. 15 for the college’s Foundations Week. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
A construction crew is hard at work on a new 293,000-square-foot student health and wellness center scheduled to be completed February 2026. The new center, which will be located on Shaw Lane, between Birch and Harrison roads, will replace IM West once it is fully completed. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Drops of dew glitter on green grass as two friends — one furry — walk together through campus. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Students and visitors enjoy a welcome event hosted by Residence Education and Housing Services. With students returning, there are many events taking place across campus through the end of August and into September. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Spartans hold hands as they walk near the MSU Museum, fortuitously framing a heart of leaves on a nearby tree. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The team at Infrastructure Planning and Facilities is hard at work as campus prepares for the return of students for the fall semester. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The Red Cedar River rushes slightly faster than usual after a summer rain. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The Spartan helmet in 1855 Place is ready for the return of fall sports. Some Spartan Athletics teams have begun their 2023 season, including women’s soccer, who topped Akron, 3-1, on Senior Day on Aug. 20. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
