MSU’s fifth Give Green Day supports Spartan students
Michigan State University’s fifth annual Give Green Day will take place March 16, 2021, a departure from the tradition of past years, when the event has taken place in late fall.
Despite the new date, other aspects of the successful annual event remain the same: It’s still a 24-hour campaign to engage Spartans and friends across the world in giving back to the causes they care about, all to support students at MSU. In 2019, MSU raised more than $1.5 million on Give Green Day from more than 4,800 alumni, students and friends, many of them donating to MSU for the first time.

EAST LANSING, MI
.-The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University is presenting Seeds of Resistance, on view Jan. 16July 18, 2021. This exhibition draws attention to the long history of plant and human interdependence by exploring the ways in which seeds encode and preserve not only genetic information, but also cultural heritage and knowledge.
The protection of biodiversity on our planet is one of the most pressing concerns facing human society today. Processes like seed banking of antique and heritage seeds can help us conserve genetic plant diversity when faced with climate change, crop collapse, habitat destruction, and other future environmental uncertainties.
