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. spr.ly/6011Utrjl

Thanks for sharing our work!

Thats how we roll in @MSUanthropology. Congrats to @capmsu on a successful fieldschool.

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 :)

Thank you so very much to @facilitiesmsu for pumping water out of our units after the huge storm came through East Lansing this week. We appreciate the help so much!

@statelee @AbramsSkyNotes @michiganstateu Yes :)

@capmsu @AbramsSkyNotes @michiganstateu That's the original in the pictures?

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!
