Celebrate our past and our present. MSU has a rich agricultural heritage, picturesque campus settings, Big 10 athletics, and much more. MSU icons and traditions contribute to the Spartan campus culture.

Every day more than 500,000 Spartans around the world rise to practically every challenge imaginable, proving again and again that Spartans Will.  MSU is collecting the stories of the Spartans -- alumni, students, faculty and staff -- who are contributing to the common good in ways both big and small.  Visit the Spartan Sagas website to read your fellow Spartans sagas as well as submit your own.

Every day MSU scientists, scholars and students go where the tough problems exist and work to find solutions that make life better in Michigan and around the world.  See what your fellow Spartans are doing at the Spartans Will website.
