Interim President Teresa K. Woodruff, Ph.D., joined fans in the student section to cheer for MSU in the season opener against Central Michigan University. The Spartans seized the second half of the game to claim a massive victory, winning 31-7 and setting an excellent precedent for the rest of the season. With a little luck and a lot of skill, the Spartans could start a streak as they take on Richmond at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 9 at Spartan Stadium. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.

With more than 500 student organizations on campus, Sparticipation is the perfect place for students to find their niche at MSU. Each year during Fall Welcome, student organizations, MSU departments and sponsors set up tables on IM East Field, inviting students to learn about their groups and explore ways to get involved. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Students leave Sparticipation with buttons, flyers and, hopefully, a sense of connection to their fellow Spartans. For more information on campus organizations and Registered Student Organization events, check out Involve@State. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Attendees of the Fall Welcome Spartan Spectacular got a chance to rock out with a lineup of performances from musically minded student bands and organizations. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
