🔼 Celebrating The Smith Center. On Sept. 12, 1998, the first stand-alone academic services building for student-athletes in the country was dedicated and opened its doors.
Thanks largely to the support of Steve Smith and named after his mother, the Clara Bell Smith Student-Athlete Academic Center has been the academic hub for MSU student-athletes for 25 years!
