Take a look!
Last Chance to Tailgate This Year
If you are visiting campus for MSU’s last home football games of 2015 (vs. Maryland on November 14 or vs. Penn State on November 28), join us in the Broad College alumni tailgate tent in the two hours before kickoff for refreshments and reconnections with other proud Spartans. You’ll find our heated tent on Red Cedar Road, not far from the southeast corner of the stadium. There’s no charge for Broad College alumni and their friends and no need to RSVP.
 Scholarships Available for Grandparents University
Grandparents University is coming June 28–30, 2016—an event bringing grandparents and grandchildren (ages 8–12) together for a three-day educational experience on MSU’s campus. A limited number of scholarships are currently available for the upcoming program.
