Green Glow

Take part in Michigan State University's newest Homecoming Tradition

The MSU Homecoming Committee selected "Glow Green, Go White" as the 2011 Homecoming theme to kick off MSU's new tradition. Show your Spartan Spirit all week by swapping your front porch, window or any other light that can "glow" with a green bulb to celebrate MSU's Homecoming week.

Spread the word! Spartans outside of East Lansing can now take part in Homecoming whether you make it back to campus in the fall or not. Michigan State alumni will be able to identify other Spartans throughout the United States and the World. And, if anyone asks why you are doing it, feel proud to say you're celebrating Homecoming at Michigan State University!

Beginning October 10th, while supplies last, students can pick up free green bulbs with a student I.D., during normal business hours, at the Student Alumni Foundation located in the Union Building. Bulbs will also be available for alumni and fans during normal business at the MSU Alumni Association, located in the stadium tower.

On October 15th, free green light bulbs will also be available to alumni after the Michigan game at the MSU Alumni Association tent, north of the stadium.

You may also purchase green light bulbs at all Meijer stores.

The 2011 Homecoming week is October 17-22. Make sure to keep your "Green Glow" going during this time.
