Spartan bus tour hits the road
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – A bus full of Michigan State University faculty and staff Spartans hit the road this morning just past 7 am on a whirlwind two-day trip throughout Metro Detroit.
Kwesi Brookins, Vice Provost for Community Outreach and Engagement, says that part of the trip's goal is to 'bookend a lot of what we can learn about Detroit and…[what] our role as a University is in serving Michigan.'
The tour will include stops at the Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills, the newly reopened Motown Museum, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. As MSU has provided decades of support to many of the locales, it's a chance for everyone to see the outcome of the University's efforts up close and in person.
'Hard choices' ahead as MSU President says 'we must adjust our financial path'
Sparty, the MSU mascot, made an appearance to send the group off on their education adventure.
Right before the Spartan-branded bus pulled away from the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center, MSU president Kevin M. Guskiewicz gave all 50 faculty and staff aboard a speech which concluded with a rousing call and response — 'Go green' and 'Go white!'
