💚 ONE BIG THING
🔼 Dear Spartans! “Spartans,
It’s Homecoming in East Lansing. Across the Michigan State campus, staff and students are preparing to welcome Spartan alums back home. My family and I are excited to be part of all the festivities, including the parade, the tailgates, and the football game. I can’t wait to meet Spartans from all eras.
Homecoming celebrates the past, with an eye towards the future, building on the firm foundation established by generations of Spartans. With that serving as a backdrop, it’s important that I share some early impressions from my first month on campus.”
