FROM THE PRESIDENT


A Message From the President

Fellow alumni, I want to

express my appreciation

for your continuing

engagement with

Michigan State. With

our capital campaign drawing to a

successful close, the results speak

volumes about Spartans’ devotion to

this university.

Michigan State is making great

strides in reforming processes and

practices to be as safe, responsive,

and worthy of your support as it can

be. Even as we mutually refl ect and

assess, our indomitable Spartan Will

carries us forward.

We see confi dence in MSU

refl ected in this year’s record

enrollment. We welcomed the

university’s largest incoming

undergraduate class to campus,

8,442 new students, for a total

enrollment of 50,351—our second-

largest ever.

Clearly, MSU continues to be

highly valued by families in Michigan

and beyond. The average high school

grade point average for our freshmen

this fall was 3.73, continuing its

steady increase, and Honors College

enrollment totaled 724—a record for

the entering class!

It is also our most diverse class,

with a record 26.3 percent who are

students of color, and an all-time high

4,415 women. We also welcomed

1,590 transfer students, and between

new and transfer students, nearly 80

percent are from Michigan.

Hats off to the alumni groups around the country that are stepping up to help represent us at recruiting events in their regions.

Ò

Though we are excited about

this record-setting class, we realize

we have much work to do to

continue attracting future Spartans.

Institutions throughout the country

are facing enrollment declines as

high school graduate numbers drop.

In Michigan, we project 15 percent

fewer high school graduates in the

next 10 years.

With another foreseen drop

underway in international student

enrollments throughout much of

higher education, Michigan State

is stepping up recruiting in other

states. We are addressing out-of-

state tuition costs by off ering new

scholarship incentives to domestic

students, and have added regional

admissions representatives in the

Florida, Atlanta, and Ohio markets.

Hats off to the alumni groups around

the country that are stepping up

to help represent us at recruiting

events in their regions.

This challenge, too, will be

overcome by Spartans working

together. Go green!

LETTERS

YOUR VOICESWe received a record number of letters from readers since the summer release of Spartan mag-azine. It’s nice to hear from so many of you. And it’s an honor to be able to share your thoughts with everyone in our audience, which includes alumni, faculty, staff , students, and friends. We hope this section of the magazine continues to be a place

where you can share your opinions, comments, and suggestions. To steal a line from the late Dean Martin, “Keep those cards and letters coming.”

Paula M. DavenportEDITOR, SPARTAN

LOVED THIS ISSUE

I am an alumna. I wanted to compli-

DISAPPOINTED

Just wanted to register my disap-

pointment with Mr. Engler’s di-

rective to change the focus of this

issue of the alumni magazine. The

university had an opportunity to

send a strong message here, and this

is a huge disappointment. I hope that

the editorial staff will be given more

autonomy in the future.

LETTERS

the wake of the Nassar revelations.

As a proud graduate of the MSU

School of Journalism, I take par-

ticular offense, as my household

donations go to fund the incredible

storytelling of the Spartan alumni

magazine and do so because of the

topical relevance as well as the clear

research and thoughtfulness that go

into every story.

These are the values I was taught

as a writer—to report the truth, no

matter how uncomfortable.

The administration’s blatant

attempts to turn the magazine into a

propaganda machine to appease do-

nors are ridiculous. The donors are

already PISSED that this happened

in the first place.

That the culture at MSU has

always been to hide and control the

message as we saw play out during

the trial.

We don’t need more of it. We need

transparency, accountability and a

culture shift that starts at the TOP.

If this doesn’t happen, you can bet

donor dollars will go elsewhere. I

say I am a proud grad. But right now

I am heartbroken. This is not how

#SpartansWill.

Stephanie Stanton, ’07HENDERSON, NV

HOPEFUL

Awesome issue. Go Green. Anyone

who deserts MSU in its time of need

is not a true Spartan. All of my Spar-

tan friends are 100 percent on board.

One bad apple (Nassar) doesn’t

make the whole bushel bad. Really

loved the issue.

Mary A. MendendorpHOLLAND

CULTURE CHANGE IS NEEDED

I realize that Interim President

Engler needs to put the university in

a positive light (as does the alumni

magazine, to some extent), but he’s

kidding himself if he thinks MSU

“has emerged from the most difficult

challenge in its history.”

That challenge is ongoing, and

we won’t emerge until it’s clear

that the actions he is taking are

succeeding in changing the culture.

Go green.

Keith Langham, ’73NORTHVILLE

WE ARE APPALLED

We are retired faculty members,

apparently receiving the magazine

because of our contributions to the

university. We were appalled when

we learned that acting president

Engler was able to influence you to

not publish essays from the con-

cerned and distraught alumni (and

to publish the “pap” interview with

Mr. Engler).

We are not interested in having

any of the money that we donate to

the university be used to fund this

kind of uncritical public relations

effort in the face of VERY serious

issues facing the university.

We will not get past the problems

that have plagued the university in

recent times until we confront them

directly.

We need to be able to hear all

voices, not just those managed by

an administration that has already

demonstrated an inability to listen

with an open ear.

Jim and Rose Zacks, faculty

OKEMOS

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS

From the time I was young, I can

remember someone always trying to

molest me. Family members, my youth

leader, my pastor, supervisors, etc.

My daughter, her daughter, and I

have all gone through this. I share

this because the good news is, finally,

we can talk about it and many more

victims know it’s not their fault.

I hope things will continue pro-

gressing, and many more survivors

will realize that they will get through

this and do better than ever. They

brought down the wall of shame for

many, and some very powerful peo-

ple now are being held accountable.

I’m proud that a very old and pain-

ful subject is coming to the forefront,

and while we may not find the best

solutions the first time, we will keep

working and get through this. It was a

long time coming. Go green, go white.

JanLANSING

RESTORE INDEPENDENCE

I was disgusted to learn that Engler

canceled your appropriate response

to the Nassar disaster.

It’s time the alumni magazine

returned to its independent status

as it existed many years ago. Engler

should be fired. He is an embarrass-

ment to the university and has to go.

I will not be making any contribu-

tions to MSU as long as Engler is in

office.

Linda Lacey, ’65 HAMILTON

TO THE CONTRARY

The cover of the summer 2018 Spar-

tan quoted Interim President John

LETTERS

Engler inferring that MSU is now

past “this Nassar thing” (as a board

member called it).

Mr. Engler stated the university

has “emerged” and is now stronger,

safer, etc.

I don’t believe anything could be

further from the truth. I think that

their plan of action (or inaction)

includes “circling the wagons,” i.e.,

putting as many MSU people in

investigative and administrative

positions as possible; delaying and

protracting the selection of a new

president (who will probably have

a strong MSU connection); having

some kind of excuse to delay pay-

ment to the aggrieved parties; and

finally, waiting long enough until the

whole thing blows over.

This seems to be their strategy,

which I don’t think will work. Unless

the university aggressively attempts

to find out (up and down the line)

who knew what and when, and then

deal appropriately with them, there

will be the dark “Nassar cloud” hang-

ing over the entire university. This

is a situation that requires serious

investigation, not just new positions

and platitudes.

I don’t see a real investigation hap-

pening. Until it does, those now in

charge are doing long-term damage

to the reputation of a premier land-

grant university.

F. Craig Schley, ’64 HARRISON TOWNSHIP

GRATEFUL FOR STATE NEWS

I am so thankful for the strength and

independence of The State News.

The “original” issue of the June ’18

Spartan magazine was a window

into the variety of healing processes

being attempted on campus. Mr.

Engler’s decision to “overthrow” that

issue and focus on only “good news”

was just one more example of this

administration’s inability to help all

of us heal from this trauma.

Kristi Kline, ’82MIDLAND

MSU WILL ENDURE

While the actions of Larry Nassar

have been devastating to MSU (and

those who survived his abuse), they

are not the first challenges over

which the university has prevailed.

May I remind you that in:

1863 —The University of Michi-

gan engaged in a full assault on the

formation of MSU’s predecessor,

MAC.

1865, 1867, 1869—The nascent

MAC was just getting truly estab-

lished in East Lansing when bills

were introduced in each of these

legislative sessions to close MAC and

allocate its funding to U-M.

1916—A fire completely destroyed

the Engineering Building on campus,

just as the facility was scheduled to

greatly expand.

The University of Michigan had

been actively campaigning for six

years to close MAC’s rapidly-grow-

ing Engineering School and move

the dedicated funds into Ann Arbor

(U-M now wanted MAC to only offer

programs in Agriculture).

1939 - 1950—MSC engaged in

an ongoing campaign to become a

member of the Big Ten Conference.

Throughout this time frame, steady

opposition to MSC membership

by the University of Michigan was

skillfully overcome by MSC’s popu-

lar and visionary president, John A.

Hannah.

Had U-M succeeded, today’s MSU

would look very different; Big Ten

membership helped to transform the

university. MSU will prevail.

Dave Kirkpatrick, ’82NORTHVILLE

DON’T FORGET THE ARCHITECTS

“Building a New Future,” in the

Summer 2018 issue (and the article

on the new building at the College

of Music) made for good reading for

this architect.

I was greatly disappointed, how-

ever, to read not a single mention of

architects or engineers. Buildings

don’t design themselves—they take

prodigious energy and creative work

on the part of talented professionals

to ensure that they accommodate

well complex functions, the physical

context, and a sense of pleasure in

appearance.

As you wouldn’t discuss a book

without mention of its author, or a

painting without crediting the artist,

please in future be sure to connect

campus buildings to their architects

and consultants. They deserve credit

for their work.

YOU’VE GOT MAILWant to be a better boss? Check your email less often. MSU research shows that keeping up with email traffic places high demands on managers, which prevents them from achieving their goals and from being good leaders.The study is one of the first to examine how distractions from email impact managers, their productivity, and their role as leaders.Results show that employees spend more than 90 minutes every day—or seven-and-a-half hours every week —recovering from email interruptions. Managers are no different, and their distractions have further-reaching implications.“When managers are the ones trying to recover from email interruptions, they fail to meet their goals, neglect job responsibilities, and their subordinates don’t have the leadership behavior they need to thrive,” said MSU Broad College of Business Professor Russell Johnson.

A Theory of WindBY DAN GERBER, ’62

The oxygen that the trees

conceive out of sunlight

backs up in the branches of a single oak.

A still morning, dead calm,

a new day just beginning

to penetrate the fog.

Maybe a crow calls to remind you

you are listening,

that the silence itself is a kind of song.

And then one tiny leaf starts to quiver.

The leaf, moved by your attention,

gives a little wave

and happens to brush another leaf,

and together they make a voice.

This glad commotion spreads along the limb

till the tree can’t contain itself

any more than you can keep from hearing it

or feeling its breath on your face.

You are absolved of all responsibility now,

as the whole tree takes up this song,

which leaps like flame to the oak next door,

while the startled pine tries to hush it

and only makes matters worse

from the standpoint of stillness.

If you get down close to the ground now you will hear

how the normally complacent grass

is also infected.

You’ve seen it fan out in great swoops,

Like a blush on the face of the sea.

Road work last summer uncovered a visual reminder of our agricultural roots. Archaeology students came to the rescue. Together they unearthed the remains: scores of large and small bones that formed an old cow’s skeleton. Bone spurs and worn teeth gave the animal’s age away. The farm animal may have belonged to the Biebesheimer family, who settled the area in the mid-1800s. Researchers hope more testing on related remains will yield evidence of the era’s indigenous plant species.

FOOD IN THE FUTUREBy 2050, the world population is ex-pected to exceed 9 billion. To feed a population that size, food production will need to increase by 70 to 100 percent. In response, MSU has expanded its pres-ence in key food-pro-ducing regions of the world, including the U.S., Africa, Asia, and Central America. Our scientists are tackling challenges posed by population growth, climate change, and persistent malnu-trition, especially among children and women. “MSU knows food,” said Ronald Hendrick, dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resourc-es. “It harkens back to why the university was founded, and where we are headed in the future.”

Quilters possess special powers. A number of them have stitched together moving creations in response to a loved one’s illness, disease, or disability. African-American artist Marion Coleman memorializes Nelson Mandela’s legacy in “HIV Positive: Reaching for a Cure.” You’ll find it within the pages of Quilts and Health (see sidebar, left), which explores quilting as an art form and a therapy for both a creator and the recipient of a quilt. The beautifully illustrated book attests to the healing power of love and art.

ENHANCING HUMANITIESA new endowed posi-tion has been created at MSU to focus on the holistic well-being of students through spiritual development. The chair is one of 105 new endowed faculty positions established during MSU’s Em-power Extraordinary campaign. The Foglio Chair of Spirituality—in the College of Arts and Letters—honors the Rev. Jake Foglio, an alumnus, former faculty member, long-time priest, and men-tor to countless MSU student-athletes and coaches. Now retired, Father Jake formerly served in the St. John Church and Student Center. He previously assisted with medical behavioral science teaching and counsel-ing in the College of Human Medicine. “To say that Edward Minskoff is a developer

would be like saying Picasso was a painter.”

That’s how the New York Sun once

described Minskoff, ’62 (Business), one of

America’s preeminent developers.

His portfolio includes roughly 40 million

square feet of real estate. But the Spartan

philanthropist has never forgotten his alma

mater.

In September, he gave $30 million toward

the Business Pavilion at the Eli Broad

College of Business. His gift to MSU is the

largest single gift ever from an individual.

Minskoff is known for building landmark

spaces that radiate elegance and style. His

aesthetic concern is central to his intent.

“Buildings are an art form,” he told the Sun.

Real Estate Magnate Means BusinessDeveloper Edward J. Minskoff makes largest private gift in university’s history

And art is his passion: ARTnews has listed

Minskoff and his wife, Julie, among the

world’s top 200 art collectors.

Minskoff’s financial support to his alma

mater began in 1964.

Today, the Julie and Edward J. Minskoff

Gallery in the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Mu-

seum is named in their honor. Mr. Minskoff

lent his expertise to MSU during construc-

tion of the Zaha Hadid-designed art museum.

IN HONOR OF SURVIVORSThe University Museum is preserving more than 200 teal mesh bows tied to trees last winter in tribute to young women who’d survived sexual abuse by former physician Larry Nassar. The adornments were removed after foliage-damaging gypsy moths began nesting in them. Museum staff will assist survivors and their parents in creating an upcoming exhibit including the bows and other poignant reminders.

THE TIES THAT BIND

Before removing teal ribbons honoring survivors of Larry Nassar’s sex abuse, supporters take time to refl ect and honor those whose names were printed on white bows.

Greening the Golden ArchesKendra Levine brings purpose and passion for the environment to her work driving

McDonald’s ambitious sustainability initiatives. BY DANIEL P. SMITH

As an eighth-grader

in Orlando, Florida,

Kendra Levine penned

an essay defending

climate change as a

naturally occurring event.

When her teacher read the young

scribe’s treatise in front of the class,

Levine’s stomach turned and her

heart sank.

“I didn’t want to feel we could be

causing [climate change], so I argued

we weren’t responsible even though

the evidence pointed to human im-

pact,” Levine said.

That day served as a turning point

for Levine, spurring a heightened

attentiveness to environmental

responsibility that now fuels her pro-

fessional pursuits. Today, as North

American sustainability manager at

McDonald’s, Levine works to drive

continuous improvement in the

environmental and social impacts of

McDonald’s U.S. supply chain, which

covers about 14,000 restaurants.

After earning an undergraduate

degree in food and resource econom-

ics from the University of Florida

in 2008, Levine spent three years in

Kenya as a program manager with

One Acre Fund, an international

nonprofit that finances and trains

smallholder farmers in Africa. As

she monitored and evaluated the

organization’s efforts, Levine began

to contemplate different paths to

impact and professional purpose.

Later, while pursuing her master’s

degree in agricultural, food, and

resource economics at MSU, Levine

found her answer. If she could work

for a large food or agriculture com-

pany demanding sustainable practic-

es within its supply chain, she could

help power market-driven environ-

mental and social improvements.

“Then, I could help people and the

environment simultaneously,” said

Levine, who earned a master’s degree

A few short weeks after gradua-

tion, Levine landed at McDonald’s.

Initially charged to work with all

plant-based products, Levine trav-

eled to farms to investigate innova-

tive practices that could be applied

across the supply chain, specifically

seeking initiatives that were eco-

nomically, environmentally, and

socially sound. She also developed an

clutching thoughts of a career in

environmental law or international

development, Levine shifted her

academic focus to agribusiness, took

classes at the Eli Broad College of

able sourcing coordinator, where she

learned how to present information

SPARTAN STORY Broadway-dreamer


A Life on the RoadMichal Kolaczkowski is living his dream, touring the world in theater productions

including Chicago and Beauty and the Beast and hoping for a big break in New York.

BY DANIEL P. SMITH

It’s a crisp December morning

in Vancouver, Canada, and

Michal Kolaczkowski has one

thing on his mind: finding a

good cup of coffee.

Over Kolaczkowski’s last four

globe-trotting years as a professional

performer, hunting for a caffeine fix

has become a daily ritual, his way of

injecting normalcy into an otherwise

abnormal life of hotels and airplanes,

taxis, and takeout.

Not that Kolaczkowski’s complaining.

This is, after all, his dream life.

“I haven’t worked a day in years,”

Kolaczkowski, ’12, said, beaming.

In his latest adventure, the 27-year-

old played the role of Fred Casely

on the Broadway tour of Chicago, a

seven-month, 34-city tour spanning

North American cities like Saska-

toon and Schenectady, San Antonio

and Sioux Falls. Prior to that, the

Shelby Township native returned to

his home state with performances

in Clinton Township, Midland, and

Kalamazoo.

“It’s always extra special to be back

in Michigan,” said Kolaczkowski, the

son of Polish-born professional ball-

room dancers. “It’s where it all began

for me.”

And that’s where it almost ended.

After an active career in high school

theater, Kolaczkowski told himself he

was done performing when he arrived

on the Michigan State campus in fall

2009.

“It seemed time to get on with life,”

he said.

It was a short-lived promise,

however, as Kolaczkowski auditioned

for the university’s fall musical, Rent.

Cast in the show, he was sucked back

into the performing world. He later

appeared in campus productions

such as Legally Blonde and Evil Dead,

while also singing with the men’s glee

York City and entered the profession-

al semester training program at the

Broadway Dance Center, an intense

five-month program that allowed him

to “catch up with those in New York

who had musical theater degrees.”

He landed his first gigs as a dancer,

actor, and singer on Crystal Cruis-

es, quite literally circling the globe,

before securing a spot on the na-

tional and then international tour of

Beauty and the Beast. Kolaczkowski

Òclub and the campus a cappella group,

Spartan Dischords. Along the way, he

paired his marketing studies with an

“informal” acting degree, picking up

theater course textbooks to hone his

craft.

“At Michigan State, I was able to

develop my being in many different

directions all at once, and that’s why

I’m here today,” Kolaczkowski said.

“Michigan State allowed me to tune

out the noise and follow my instincts.”

After graduating in December

in New York and performed on the

national tour of Dirty Dancing. After

some draining “near misses” upon

returning to New York in mid-2016,

Kolaczkowski earned a spot in Chica-

go, his “dream show.”

“It’s those near misses that make

that moment you get the job so much

bigger,” he said.

Now Kolaczkowski, who leverag-

es his Eli Broad College marketing

studies to curate his own website and

social media presence, said he hopes

Michal Kolaczkowski savors the Toronto-based Ed Mirvish Theatre stage before gracing it as Fred Casely in the Broadway National Tour of Chicago.

his next “big break” delivers the

ultimate prize: casting in a Broadway

show.

“Broadway’s the top of the pyramid,”

he said. “I’ve been in New York City for

five years now and have paid every bill

performing, but there’s no question a

Broadway show is the goal.”

Then, of course, he could stop hunt-

ing for coffee in unfamiliar cities.

“Yeah,” he said, laughing, “I already

know my go-to spots in New York.”

SPARTAN STORY Park-protector


A Gift for EveryoneRobert Manning turned his love and passion for

America’s National Park System into a career as a

researcher and professor. BY TOM KERTSCHER

America’s 102-year-

old, 84-million-acre

National Park System

(NPS) is far more

than a collection of

pretty places to Robert Manning,

who arrived at Michigan State on a

mission to protect it.

“The national parks are really an

important manifestation of democ-

racy. They’re the idea that these

places are so important that they

need to be protected for everyone,

not just for a rich or powerful elite,”

he said.

“They really are icons of Ameri-

can history and geography. We have

places that are just so grand and so

different from many other countries

around the world.

“Everyone, regardless of their

wealth or power, is an owner of

places like Yosemite, and Yellow-

stone, and the Grand Canyon. It’s

an important part of what makes

America different,” said Manning,

who earned a master’s and a doctor-

ate in the College of Agriculture and

Natural Resources, 1973 and 1975,

respectively.

Now a professor emeritus of envi-

ronment and natural resources at the

University of Vermont, he spent 40

years there teaching the history, phi-

losophy, and management of parks,

and conducting research for the NPS.

But some of his most important

work came during the yearlong

sabbaticals he took to live in and do

research in places such as Yosemite

and Grand Canyon national parks.

“There’s really no other way to get

familiar with what really goes on in

a national park than to spend some

time there,” he said. “I would use

those sabbaticals in my research and

teaching. They were great sources of

stories and slides and case studies.”

Those assignments helped Man-

ning attract as many as 300 under-

graduate students to his introducto-

ry classes at Vermont and produce

10 books about the parks—as well as,

with his wife, Martha, books about

“extraordinary hiking.”

Everyone, regardless of their wealth or power, is an owner of places like Yosemite, and Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. It’s what makes America different.

Ò

It all started after Manning, who

described himself as a modest under-

graduate, entered the U.S. Coast

Guard after getting his bachelor’s

degree in biology at Washington Col-

lege in Maryland without much of

a career plan. That’s when he began

visiting places such as Yosemite and

determined that helping to preserve

such parks would be his life’s work.

“I really wasn’t a very worldly

person before that. So, going to some

of the national parks in California, in

particular, it was just a revelation to

me. I got so engaged with it that by

the time I left the Coast Guard three

and a half years later, I was quite sure

what I wanted to do with my life.”

That decision brought him to MSU

to study park and recreation resourc-

es. Manning said he is grateful to the

school because “they really took a

chance on me.”

The state of the NPS, of course,

remains a concern for Manning.

“One of the big issues that faces

the national parks is the capacity

at the parks to accommodate the

public,” he said, noting that NPS

received nearly 331 million visits in

2016, setting a record for the third

straight year.

“In one way, that’s a wonderful

thing that so many people would be

interested in the national parks, but

on the other hand it also creates real

challenges for the park service,” he

said. “How can a park like Yosemite

accommodate 4 or 5 million visits a

year without damaging the parks or

damaging the quality of experience

that people are supposed to have?

“There’s nothing that’s more fun-

damental in my mind than finding

the right balance between use and

preservation. That’s one issue that

won’t go away.”

Manning won MSU’s Leonard

Twardzik Distinguished Alumni

Award in 2002.

WALK THIS WAY

Robert Manning devoted his career to protecting wild lands. Now he has time to trek within them.

While the means through which we acquire and

share knowledge are accelerating faster than

you can say fi ber-optic cable, the importance

of information—new and historic—remains an

essential part of human life on civic, social, and

economic levels, and beyond.

Behold the library, whose noble aim is to remove barriers and make

that information, in all its forms, accessible for all. Like the languages

it encompasses, a library is a living thing, constantly evolving and

adapting to the needs of its time and its patrons.

This year, MSU is welcoming its new university librarian, Joseph

Salem Jr., and expressing gratitude to its recently retired veteran

director, Cliff Haka, whose vision elevated the library from a re-

spectable collection of holdings to an energized, popular destination

that draws students, faculty, and scholars eager to learn, create, and

socialize.

There’s nothing musty about it. It’s the only place on campus where

you can experience a 360-degree view inside a working artery, marvel

at extremely rare books, grab a latte and a snack to sustain yourself

while reading, pet a therapy dog and feast on free donuts during fi nals

week, dive into one of the world’s greatest comic book collections,

learn the fi ne points of turf grass, borrow DVDs and CDs from the

expansive Rovi Media Collection, or study an amazing group of maps.

But wait, there’s more. Join us on an armchair tour.

MSU Libraries hold millions of ways to explore the depth of human knowledge and

To paraphrase French lawyer and author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1826): We are what we eat. This holds true not only in the senses of health and physique. MSU’s Cookery and Food Collection, one of the largest in the nation, tells us what the world’s societies ate, and, in so do-ing, tells us a lot about cultural identity over and through time.

This collection contains more than 25,000 cookbooks dating from the 16th century to the present. Manuscript “receipts” reveal the handing down of dishes from one cook to another. Rari-ties include Amelia Simmons’ American Cookery (1798), the fi rst cookbook published in America. The collection is rich in holdings of African and African-American cookery, charting the infl u-ence of West African foodways in the Americas. Community pride is chronicled by the Michigan Cookbook Project, an ongoing program to collect materials published in the state, including cook-books created by communities, organizations, churches, and individuals.

Industrial food production and kitchen tech-nology continue to change the ways humans grow and purchase, cook and keep, and consume food. The Alan and Shirley Brocker Sliker Culinary Collection features thousands of publications by U.S. companies intent on introducing new foods and new ways of cooking into the American home. (There’s always room for JELL-O!)

Welcome to the future. You’ll begin your journey in a

10,000-square-foot space worthy of Star Trek’s “holodeck.” It’s

formally known as the Digital Scholarship Lab.

The crew of the show’s starship USS Enterprise used its holo-

deck (Holographic Environment Simulator) for recreation. What

was science fi ction in 1974 becomes reality as a tool for education

and research at MSU.

The lab’s focal point is the 360-degree immersive visualization

room, the fi rst of its kind at a U.S. university. Within its confi nes,

teams can collaborate in research and training, classes can “visit”

distant places, and designers can bring their sketches to life.

On top of that, visitors can experience virtual reality. Open to all

faculty and students, the lab features a virtual reality room with

VR headsets, a dedicated room for digitization projects, offi ces,

instructional space, meeting rooms, and work stations outfi tted

with high-speed computers and powerful software easily outdo-

ing what Capt. Kirk had at his command.

Opened in February, the Digital Scholarship Lab is the result

of a partnership between the College of Arts and Letters and the

MSU Libraries. “This state-of-the-art facility will elevate our

widely recognized strengths in the digital arts and humanities,”

Christopher P. Long, dean of the College of Arts and Letters,

predicts. “It is bound to be a destination for the best students

and faculty from around the world.”

Our librarians have long collected mul-timedia created by faculty and academic staff . The work spans generations. One of the earliest pieces is Shadows from the Walls of Death, by Chemistry Professor Robert C. Kedzie (1823–1902). It’s one of 100 albums he fi lled with 19th-century wallpapers embedded with arsenic. The toxin yielded fashionably vivid colors, especially greens.

Kedzie, a former physician and a member of Michigan’s fi rst State Board of Health, understood the element’s danger to health and life. He distributed his albums to all state libraries, warning people of the hazardous materi-al. Only four books remain.

Now, books, multimedia creations, musical scores, and re-cordings by faculty are collected annually. The ever-growing body of work charts MSU’s contributions to the world’s knowledge. Find the latest addi-tions in the Stanley C. and Selma D. Hol-lander Faculty Book Collection Alcove.

Some folks read directions. Others pick up

one piece and start assembling. And then

there are those who want to take those

pieces, rewrite the directions, and make

something altogether new. It’s all good.

In the Main Library’s MakeCentral,

students and faculty fi nd a supportive

environment in which to discover, experi-

ment, collaborate, design, and invent. These

communal “makerspaces” are part of what

some experts are calling the New Industrial

Revolution, in which do-it-yourselfers are

using old and new technologies as ways of

learning and sharing skills and knowledge

(i.e., directions are important).

MakeCentral, like other makerspaces in

public and academic libraries across the

nation, provides access to tools. Want to

publish your own book? MakeCentral staff

can help you design and print it. Or you

can dabble in such new technologies as 3D

Finals week isn’t what it used to be.

Not long ago, lack of study space, un-

from students inspired Holly Flynn,

outreach librarian, to get creative.

In May 2012, she and a colleague

Library Makes Finals Week

with snacks, games, hula hoops, and

music to provide pleasant breaks

from the strain of fi nals week. Even

though they posted fl yers through-

out the building, a grand total of two

students showed up.

This motivated Flynn and her

co-workers to contact other univer-

sities to see if they had better ways

to support students during the fi nals

crunch. With help from librarians at

“that school down the road,” Flynn

and her colleagues slowly but surely

built a legendary fi nals week event

that has become a staple for MSU

students.

“With our past experiences, good

and bad, we knew that students liked

animals, free food, and higher-qual-

ity entertainment than hula hoops,”

Flynn said with a laugh.

She also called on her contacts in

the Counseling Center, Career Ser-

vices, and Admissions offi ces, who

owned therapy dogs.

“They were just bursting to share

their comforting pets with our

students,” she added.

With the help of more

strategic marketing,

social media, and

grassroots outreach,

hundreds of

students came in to relax with some

friendly, furry friends and relieve

some exam-week stress.

In December 2014, librarians

loaded up book carts with 83 dozen

doughnuts, 40 gallons of coff ee, and

healthy snacks. They wheeled the

refreshments around the library that

evening.

Surprised students devoured more

than 1,000 doughnuts in under an

hour. Hence “The Night of A Thou-

sand Donuts,” a fi nals week tradition,

was born.

Since then, a week-long sched-

ule of events provides comfort and

entertainment throughout the fi nals

rush.

Student employees, outside

departments, and Greek life help

make it possible and successful. Not

to mention valuable donations from

MSU Federal Credit Union—alle-

viating concern that a book budget

would be spent on doughnuts.

~ Allison Bertram, ’18“They were just bursting to share

their comforting pets with our

students,” she added.

“From ‘aaugh!’ to ‘zoinks!’” would be a fi tting title of a list of all the comic books, comic

strips, fotonovelas, graphic novels, and related materials in the Comic Art Collection. But

holy numbers, Batman! The collection of over 300,000 items is the largest of its kind. Its

Green Lantern-like strengths are in American, European, and Latin American holdings,

but its collecting scope is international.

The collection was established in 1970 by Russel B. Nye (1913–1993), Department of

English, a pioneer in the scholarly study of popular culture and the university’s only Pulit-

zer Prize winner. The Russel B. Nye Popular Culture Collection is also rich in magazines

beyond comics that parents often forbade children to read: think confession, crime, and

scandal magazines, romance and western dime novels, and science fi ction. What’s more, it

also houses “appropriate” literature, in the form of Sunday-school books, textbooks, and

children’s literature, dating from the 19th century. Geoff Johns, ’95, founder of Mad Ghost Productions, is currently writing the anticipated feature Green Lantern

Corps, in addition to gearing up for the Warner Brothers Aquaman movie release in December.

Our football fi eld’s natural turfgrass (installed in 2002) is the result of over three centuries of research and experiment by scientists, amateurs, and companies. The Turfgrass Information Center’s collection refl ects this long histo-ry of investigation into the cultivation and care of turf on golf courses and sports fi elds, parks, lawns, and sod farms, as well as the social and cultural changes these landscapes refl ect and foster.

The Center was established in 1984 with the help of the U.S. Golf Association (USGA). MSU turf-grass scientist James B Beard and Librar-ies Director Richard Chapin had been building the collection since the early 1960s. With the fi nancial support of the USGA, an online database of turfgrass literature was established, pro-viding historical and scientifi c information to a wide variety of users. The Turfgrass Information Cen-ter’s collection is the world’s largest, with more than 250,000 records.

Every MSU fresh-man has uttered this phrase: “Excuse me, could you tell me where …?” Campus maps have saved gen-erations of Spartans on their first days of classes and represent the many changes to the campus’ land-scape.

MSU’s Map Library holds more than 250,000 sheet maps (dating back to the 17th century), 14,000 folded geologic maps, and 4,000 atlas-es, gazetteers, and other maps that show how geographical knowledge has been and continues to be drawn, debated, and distributed. The Map Library collects in all areas, but is especially strong in North and Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Footpaths to Free-ways: The Evolution of Michigan Road Maps traces the changes in traveling through Michigan, from terri-torial roads to Google Maps and more.

The library is home to the Rovi Media Col-

lection, the largest of its kind in an Ameri-

can library.

Donated in 2015 by Rovi Corp., this

collection numbers over 850,000 items,

including CDs, DVD and Blu-ray movies,

and video games produced since the early

1990s. The gaming collection—numbering

over 17,000 items—represents entertain-

the largest known library collection of its

kind worldwide. Whether enthusiasts or

researchers, patrons may borrow games

to play in the library’s comfy Video Game

Labs.

In addition, the Rovi Media Collec-

tion is a one-of-a-kind resource for game

designers and developers, musicians, film

historians, and cultural studies scholars.

It’s so new that professional cataloging and

“The end of all education should surely be ser-vice to others,” César E. Chávez (1927–1993) said. A Mexican-American farm worker, his formal education was cut short. But he never stopped learning and pushing for better working con-ditions. In 1962, he founded the National Farm Workers Association—now the United Farm Workers (UFW). His offi ce at the labor union’s headquarters housed hundreds of books, ranging from philos-ophy to the history of unions.

Our César E. Chávez Collection refl ects the leader’s cultural roots and commitment to human rights, labor activism, education, the arts, and a belief in non-violence.

You’ll fi nd written works, voice and video titles, educational comic books, and the Illegal Superheroes Wanted Posters, part of a series that includes the Superman poster shown.

Chávez toured Michigan in the 1970s and 1980s, fi nding strong support for UFW boycotts, strikes, and programs. In 2017, the Lansing City Council renamed part of Grand River Avenue in Old Town as César E. Chávez Avenue.

G. Robert Vincent Voice Library

11In 1912, a fearless 14-year-old borrowed a cylinder recording device

from a pal to capture a message by a prominent American citizen.

That citizen was Bull Moose Party presidential candidate Theo-

dore Roosevelt. The pal was inventor Thomas Edison’s son Charles.

And the tenacious teen was George Robert Vincent (1898–1985).

It sparked Vincent’s lifelong passion: immortalizing the words of

fi gures, from the famous to the otherwise unfamiliar.

Fifty years later, MSU accepted Vincent’s gift of 8,000 sound

recordings, leading to the establishment of the G. Robert Vincent

Voice Library. “Print stands for the word,” Vincent said in 1965, “but

it never is, it never can be the word itself. Only the spoken voice can

bring the word fully to life.” (Anyone who has ever misinterpreted an

email’s intent truly understands this.) Today the collection, one of the

largest of its kind, numbers over 250,000 items, including the voices

of more than 500,000 individuals dating back to 1888.

As Vincent did, the librarians and technicians of the voice library

transfer sound recordings into new formats, increasing patrons’

access. You too may listen to Vincent’s fi rst recording of Theodore

Roosevelt and the voices of an astounding number of fi gures from

times gone by. Visit go.msu.edu/vincent-voice

Posters like this challenge viewers to rethink perceptions of the illegal aliens label.

THE VOICEThomas Edison was onto something major when he invented methods to capture and play voices.


On the fi rst fl oor of the Main Library

is a spacious and proverbial Wun-

derkammer, a “wonder chamber” or

“cabinet of curiosities.” In the 16th

century, Europeans began creating

such private collections of natural

and human-made wonders, putting

order to and making available the

world’s knowledge.

Libraries today continue this

important work.

Perhaps the closest comparison

to Europeans’ early compendiums

is known as the Libraries’ Special

Collections. Established in 1962,

it holds unique and rare works, ex-

tending their lives for future gener-

ations.

Many of the items you’ve read

about in the preceding pages are

housed within Special Collections.

But there are many other group-

ings under that umbrella.

Here are but a few of the addition-

al collections:

AMERICAN RADICALISM

COLLECTION

The American Radicalism Collec-

tion, established in the 1950s with

materials from the Communist

Party of the USA, has expanded

to cover radical movements and

thought on both the Right and the

Left. With more than 17,000 books,

pamphlets, zines, posters, and more,

12More Special Collections

the collection is particularly strong

in materials about 20th-century

movements and groups, from the Ku

Klux Klan of the 1920s and 1930s

to the Black Panthers, and from the

Trotskyite Socialist Workers Party to

the 1960s-era anti-war movement.

AFRICANA COLLECTION

The Africana Collection is one of the

largest in the United States—a col-

lection that is not just comprehen-

sive but peerless. It originated in the

1960s to help sustain MSU faculty

working on and with those living on

the African continent.

MSU partnered with the Univer-

sity of Nigeria Nsukka. Since then,

the compendium has grown in both

number and breadth of subjects.

Books, journals, maps, fi lms,

archives, and ephemera help sustain

research, teaching, and outreach

by the university’s large and active

African Studies community.

It is especially robust in materials

from the post-colonial period and

builds on the strengths of popular

culture and radicalism.

Cookbooks, broadsheet newspa-

pers, protest posters, and political

and campaign items from numerous

African nations are preserved in

perpetuity.

Some of the intellectual property—

such as papers by retired African stud-

ies professors and numerous activists—

cannot be found anywhere else.

Did you know this year marks the

40th anniversary of MSU’s divest-

ment from apartheid-related compa-

nies in South Africa?

MSU was the fi rst American uni-

versity to do so.

LBGTQ+ COLLECTION

The LBGTQ+ Collection was one of

the fi rst of its kind in the world when

it was established in the late 1970s.

Today, its holdings include popular

literature, periodicals, rare books,

and archival collections—giving

voice to LGBTQ+ individuals and

groups.

Magazines, entertainment guides,

newspapers, newsletters, and pride

guides from across the U.S. and

around the globe cover a rainbow of

issues, from civil rights and social

movements to persecution and

acceptance.

VETERINARY MEDICINE

HISTORICAL COLLECTION

It’s just horse sense that a veterinary

collection was established soon after

YEAR OF AFRICAHurry in to the new gallery to take in a special exhibit celebrating the tale of Africa in mid-Michigan.


Sure, some of our oldest books may look like they’re on loan from Hogwarts School; however they’re crucial to understanding how we’ve arrived at where we are today. If civilization is built on accumulating knowledge and sharing cultural experiences, then antique books are glimpses into how things played over centuries. And in a new fi rst-fl oor seminar room, visitors may engage with such gems as a wealthy Parisian family’s 1480s-era hand-lettered, colorfully painted Book of Hours, evidence of religious piety. Or patrons can leaf through Walt Whitman’s 1855 Leaves of Grass. In addition, the library houses contemporary artists’ creations that challenge the very idea of what a book is and how it looks. Professor Liam Brockey’s History of the Book class has been introducing students to the vast holdings every fall for the last three years. Brockey and his students use Special Collections as a kind of learning laboratory, tracing the development of culture—Western and Eastern alike—though published materials. The library’s conservation unit helps ensure the treasured holdings may be safely handled and repaired when needed. This vital work safeguards the cherished collection so Spartans of the future—decades, even centuries down the line—will have the same opportunities as we do today.

Antiques & Art Books

the Michigan Agricultural College

was founded. A century later, J. Fred

Smithcors, professor of anatomy in

the College of Veterinary Medicine,

turned his attention to the collection.

He found some 200 books published

before 1950. In 1957, Smithcors

acquired the Beaudette Collection

of more than 250 rare books, man-

uscripts, and incunabula, which are

pamphlets or broadside newspapers

printed in Europe before 1501.

The collection has grown to more

than 1,500 items, making it one of

the nation’s fi nest. Included in the

collection is Elemens d’Hippiatrique

by Claude Bourgelat, the founder of

the world’s fi rst school of veterinary

medicine in Lyons, France.

MSU also has the only known copy

of the fi rst edition (1547) of Libro De

Albeyteria, a veterinary manual by

Francisco de la Reyna, who theorized

the circulation of blood 80 years be-

fore William Harvey’s description of

the circulatory system.

GLOBAL SALAD: FAMINE FOODSBy Cathleen Casey

Botanical names of various plants eaten by people during famines are written on paper strips. The vegetation is low in nutritional value but when ingested gives a sensation of being full—despite the fact that the plants can cause cramps or diarrhea.

John Hannah boosted construction of the third library building.

1855MSU Libraries starts with a 200-volume collection with the founding of the Agricul-tural College of the State of Michigan. The library was housed in a single reading room on the third floor of College Hall, MSU’s first classroom building, which has since been demolished.

1916The library collection grows to more than 30,000 volumes, and additional space was created by excavat-ing underneath the

building.

1955In less than 25 years, the library outgrows its building. A new building is constructed and stu-dent in long lines move boxes of books to the new library, which stands today.

1881The library moves to Linton Hall, MSU’s oldest standing academ-ic building.

1925After six years of construction and $300,000 of government-funded money, a new library building opens its doors. Today, that building houses the MSU Museum. The library occupied the building until 1955.

1933MSU Library ranks seventh in the nation for its exten-sive collections in botany and horticulture.

1963The collection reaches 1 million vol-umes and would exceed 2 million volumes 10 years later.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

Ihave lived near Michigan

State University almost all

of my life. Over these many

years, I have seen so much

change take place on this

great campus.

But one thing that has remained

constant is the feeling that settles in

each year on move-in day.

As you walk through East Lansing

and across campus, you can’t help

but feel a sense of hope and opti-

mism as new students move to MSU

for the very fi rst time.

As this year’s move-in weekend

approached, I looked forward to

experiencing that feeling from a new

perspective as interim executive

director of the Alumni Association.

Peter, ’73, and Sherry, ’72, ’74,

Trezise of Okemos have their own

perspective as loyal alumni who have

been generously helping new groups

of Spartans move into their resi-

Peter and Sherry stood in the hot August sun greeting parents and students, helping them all feel a little less apprehensive as they began a new life chapter here at MSU.

Ò

New on Campus? Alums provide friendly faces and helping hands on move-in day

dence halls for the past six years.

Stationed outside of Butterfi eld

Hall, Peter and Sherry stood in the

hot August sun greeting parents and

students, helping them all feel a little

less apprehensive as they began a

new life chapter here at MSU.

They’re no strangers to the move-

in experience.

In addition to having MSU de-

grees, they sent both of their daugh-

ters to Michigan State.

They have also volunteered at

alumni reunion days and are loyal

donors to WKAR and the Wharton

Center.

While Peter and Sherry are

outstanding examples of what real

Spartans look like, they are by no

means unique.

Every year, thousands of loyal

alumni and friends give back a por-

tion of their time and their treasure

in support of the amazing work that

is taking place here at Michigan

State. I am honored to have met the

Trezises.

I am humbled knowing that there

are thousands of other Spartans just

like them who are out there making a

diff erence and supporting MSU each

and every day.

Bob Thomas, ’84, ’86INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

ON THE OLD STOMPING GROUNDS

Alums Peter and Sherry Trezise join Sparty and Bob Thomas, interim director of MSUAA, for a move-in day snap.


G&W Spotlight

Spartan alumni clubs connect

former students with one another

through events and group activities.

It’s another important role clubs

play in the greater Spartan commu-

nity—supporting future and current

students.

Take the MSU Boston Alumni

club, for instance. As incoming

students prepare to leave their

families and lives in Massachusetts,

the Boston Spartans host a fun-filled

send-off party.

Students and parents have the

opportunity to connect with Spartan

alums while enjoying great food and

fun games.

It’s a great way for incoming stu-

dents and their families to grow their

Spartan roots even before they arrive

in East Lansing.

Stepping up for StudentsBoston Spartans help prepare future students to leave the nest

A NEW BEGINNING

2018 Boston Spartans Endowed Scholarship recipient, Kelsey Olen, hopes to become a pediatrician.

In addition, the club members

recently met a big fundraising goal to

support their scholarship for future

Spartans living in Massachusetts.

Donations to MSU’s annual Give

Green Day, T-shirt sales, and raffles

helped fill the coffer.

All admitted freshmen from

Massachusetts are automatically

nominated for the Boston Spartans

Endowed Scholarship.

Each year, the Boston club chooses

one outstanding Massachusetts

student to receive the award. The

2018 recipient, Kelsey Olen, will

soon complete her first semester as a

Spartan.

After earning her degree in human

biology, Kelsey hopes to become a

pediatrician.

G&W Travel

Earlier this year I visited Amsterdam’s

Portuguese Synagogue (otherwise known as

Esnoga or Snoge), a huge place of worship

built in the 17th century for Sephardic Jews.

A few months later, while visiting Portugal,

I learned some related history—how Jews

found a home in Amsterdam after being

expelled from Spain and then Portugal.

These educational encounters took place

while I was enjoying two separate MSUAA

tours, Dutch Waterways and the Romance of

the Douro.

Learning is indeed one of the greatest by-

products of international travel. I know it well

because after retiring four years ago, I’ve taken

advantage of many travel opportunities.

I’ve opted for many MSUAA tours because,

in my experience, they offer an educational

component that goes beyond sight-seeing.

The MSUAA tends to select tours that are

well packaged, expertly guided, and proven

Travel With a TwistSpartan Pathways Travel Program offers trips for alumni and friends

TRAVEL WISE

The Esnoga, or Snoge, is just one of many edu-cational destinations on MSU’s Dutch Waterways alumni cruise tour.

products. Of course, with MSUAA tours you

get to travel with fellow Spartans, with whom

you make memories to last a lifetime.

As a frequent traveler, I’ve learned how to

comparison shop on travel, and eight of my

last 10 international tours have been through

the MSUAA.

As soon as the MSUAA travel brochure

comes out, I scan it for trips of interest, and

make my priority choices from them.

Alumni who are interested in travel but

have not yet experienced an alumni tour

would benefit greatly from these trips. With

over 44 tours to choose from for 2019, there’s

a perfect adventure just for you. MSUAA

travel can take you to a variety of places in

Europe and even Antarctica—you decide.

~ Bob Bao, ’68

TRIPS FOR YOUNG ALUMSDid you know that MSUAA’s Spartan Pathways Travel Program provides trips curated for young alumni? Grad-uates from the ages of 22-35 may take advantage of a few trips every year to connect with alums in their age group. Young alums are in for the adventure of a lifetime. Activities range from wine tasting in Portugal to zip-lining over the rainforest in Costa Rica. Travelers are also invited to take a closer look at various film sites for the pop-ular HBO series Game of Thrones in Croatia. Or, some may prefer a snowy New Year’s Eve celebration in the mountains of Innsbruck, Austria. From Europe to Costa Rica, these tours are priced below $2,000. Spartan Pathways even offers an Essen-tial Europe tour for recently graduated seniors. The class of 2019 is invited to experience eight countries in under 30 days. Check out the website below for more details.

An Open Letter to Spartans

We have had many challenges as a University in the past months. We are grateful to Interim

President Engler for his service and for the many changes he has made to ensure safety for

our students and vitality for our university. The next essential step is to name a permanent

President. We need your help.

A search committee has been named and a search firm has been hired: Storbeck, Pimental

and Associates. Now comes the work of identifying high-quality candidates to lead our great

university into the next decade. We ask that you actively communicate with alumni in your

network with two goals in mind.

One goal is to identify the key factors the search committee should consider. We are

currently meeting with groups on campus with three key topics.

A: What are the key attributes we should seek in a new President?

B: What challenges will she need to address given the many changes and pressures

facing higher education in general?

C: What are the key strengths of MSU that s/he should build upon? We need your input.

Please offer your thoughts at www.msu.edu/presidentialsearch.

The second critical goal is to identify candidates for President. We do not have a preferred

candidate. We are open to all nominations. A principled and effective leader with deep

experience in research-intensive higher education would be attractive. A non-traditional

candidate who has a demonstrated record of accomplishment and a deep appreciation for

higher education would also be attractive. Please scour your network and offer names. Here

we ask that you share your nominations with our search firm. We do this because we want

to protect the privacy of all candidates. You may share nominations directly with Shelly

Storbeck: [email protected].

Thank you, in advance, for the work you will do to help us find our next President. It is a

critical task at this time in the life of the university we all love. Go Green!

FROM THESE SCENES WE WANDER

MSU’s 16th president, Mackey served from 1979 to 1985. Colleagues described him as a soft-spoken Southern gentle-

man and a man of principle. An avid runner and tennis player, he and his wife, Clare, remained in East Lansing following

his tenure and Mackey continued teaching economics courses at MSU. He died Feb. 8.

Farewell Cecil Mackey Jr. (1929-2018)Life of late MSU president celebrated at East Lansing’s People’s Church in September

Millions of research materials nd a home in MSU Libraries that support your fellow Spartans.

How can we free up valuable room in the Main Library for innovative and communal spaces

that will create the library of the future?

MSU library staff Susan Graff and Josh Maki orchestrated the solution. Peek inside MSU’s

65,000 square foot Remote Storage, where 2.4 million items are stacked in towering shelves

and 4,500 items get checked in and out each semester.

WWhat Susan and Josh see is more than a warehouse. They see a state-of-the-art, high-density

repository designed to preserve and house our printed materials for decades to come.

When our mission is to support every Spartan at this world-renowned research institution

through the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, planning ahead isn‘t just a

personal preference. It guides everything we do.

Invest in the future.
