MSU program offers valuable hands-on opportunities for students. “An archaeological field school is an opportunity for undergraduate students to get an experience in doing archaeology safely,” said Stacey Camp with MSU's Campus Archeology Program @capmsu. https://t.co/5OC5fPfbG8

Established in 2005, @capmsu is one of the first programs in the U.S. to offer an opportunity for students to excavate their own campus. https://t.co/YZSN0YUoV1

Thank you to all of the folks who came out to help us backfill the observatory site today. Our incoming department chair (Dr. Andrea Louie) and outgoing department chair (Dr. Todd Fenton) offered a great deal of help! We will see you all next year :)

Thanks to @AbramsSkyNotes, the @michiganstateu first observatory dating to 1880 was reunited with its original telescope! It's been over 100 years since the telescope was removed from the observatory, which was vandalized in 1915. Thanks to all who made this happen!
