Mid-Michigan Spartans Give Back to Their Community

On Saturday March 29, local Spartans made a difference in Lansing. The Board of the MSU Alumni Club of Mid-Michigan held a volunteer day from 9 am – 1 pm at at the Ronald McDonald House of mid-Michigan.
Alumni club board members and their families spent the morning preparing a special meal for guests of the house and helping out with a variety of chores, including cleaning, organizing the library, and making needed repairs. In other words, they helped Ronald McDonald House get ready for the GREENing of spring!
Awards Convocation / State of the University Address 2008
On February 12, 2008 the MSU Alumni Club of Mid-Michigan was recognized at the 2008 Awards Convocation/State of the University Address at the Pasant Theatre of Wharton Center. The Club was recognized for its continued support for underwriting and sponsoring the MSU Alumni Club of Mid-Michigan Quality in Undergraduate Teaching Award. Two distinguished
faculty members, Kelly F. Millenbah from the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, and Jonas Zoninsein from the James Madison College, were each presented $2,000 stipends and recognized for their outstanding contribution to undergraduate education.
Club President, Jeff Hicks, was invited to join MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon, Provost Kim Wilcox and a host of other university dignitaries on stage as part of the official party. The presentation of the awards followed President
