Belong, Connect, Discover: 100 Years of MSU Texas Treasures
Celebrating the MSU Centennial
July 9 - October 1, 2022
Universities offer a wealth of resources in support of learning and enrichment, including collections of all kinds. Donations of collections often commemorate a person or milestone in the university’s history and, as such, tell a story that can inspire one’s own belonging. Learn about the treasures at MSU, when and how they came to be and what is special about them. From geological specimens to early radiology equipment and documentary photographs to illuminated manuscripts, with visual art and letter jackets too, the collections at MSU Texas invite broad interest, study, and enrichment.
This project is organized by MSU undergraduate Callie Bishop under the direction of WFMA Director, Tracee Robertson, and in partnership with Dr. Matthew Capps, Educational Leadership & Technology; Dr. William Cook, Biology; Leah Gose, School of Visual Arts; Dr. Jonathan Price, Geosciences; Alissa Russell, Moffett Library Special Collections; BriAnna Satterfield, WFMA Collections; Dr. Beth Leigh Veale, Radiologic Sciences; and Dr. Ray Willis, Biology.
