Good morning! And happy holidays to all of the Spartans out there!

An important note: the Brew will be taking a break until next week to spend time with family through the holiday season. We look forward to being back with you on Thursday, Jan. 2!

🔼 Wrapping Up. At Michigan State, our student-athletes excel beyond the field. Sam Edwards and Aliyah Moore share how their time as Spartans has shaped their journeys and prepared them for the next chapter.

🔼 Playing On The B1G Stage. Frankie Fidler chose Michigan State because of the winning culture, the family atmosphere, and playing for a legend of a coach. Now he has the opportunity to play at the highest level of college basketball.

🔼 Munn Recharged. Every game at Munn Ice Arena is a testament to the passion of Michigan State hockey fans, with the atmosphere electric and tickets sold out.

🔼 Season Of Giving. Michigan State student-athletes and staff came together to wrap presents and volunteer at local organizations, embracing the spirit of giving back to the East Lansing community this holiday season.

💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Great Grades! By many accounts, the fall 2024 semester is the best overall academic performance by Spartan student-athletes in department history. For the first time ever for Michigan State Athletics, every team finished the fall with both semester and cumulative GPAs above 3.0, resulting in all-time department highs for both semester (3.4616) and cumulative (3.4324) GPAs.
