A community member sits alongside the Red Cedar River on Feb. 14. For students, faculty and staff seeking support, there are a number of crisis resources available.
In the hopes that Spartans can come together to mourn, remember and look for ways to heal, a campuswide vigil will be held at 6 p.m., Feb. 15, at the Rock.
As we mourn, grieve and look for ways to move forward, we must do so together. As we search for ways to take care of ourselves and each other, there’s no better reminder of what it means to be a Spartan than our alma mater.
MSU, we love thy shadows
When twilight silence falls,
Flushing deep and softly paling
O’er ivy covered halls;
Beneath the pines we’ll gather
To give our faith so true,
Sing our love for Alma Mater
And thy praises, MSU.
When from these scenes we wander
And twilight shadows fade,
Our mem’ry still will linger
Where light and shadows played;
In the evening oft we’ll gather
And pledge our faith anew,
Sing our love for Alma Mater
And thy praises, MSU.
A sign posted beneath the Spartan Statue conveys hope.
Flowers adorn the Spartan Statue.
Messages of support have poured in on campus and from afar.
A light on Beaumont Tower glimmers, shining even in difficult times.
