Well, progress comes in fits and starts, and nobody values mobile connectivity more than me. Our options today for social interaction and networking are so much broader, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sparty now has a little device pocket in his armor, though he probably would be all thumbs. Many Spartans are early adopters, and I’ll simply point to the MSU Alumni Association’s Scott Wester- man. Scott was leveraging Twitter and other social media for fun and profit before most of us even knew what it was. Now, of course, he’s doing it for MSU. We’ve formed a relationship with enterprise social networking company INgage Networks to enhance our MSU Extension services and facilitate other projects, including work with our academic communications researchers. A number of our College of Communication Arts and Sciences faculty study social networking media, and they’ll have close access to INgage staff working in the building. Increasingly, social media are the subject of academic inquiry, in particular their impact among young people. For those who aren’t early adopters, we’re offering a New Media Driver’s License course again this summer taught by Richard Cole of our Department of Advertising, Public Relations, and Retailing and two digital enterprise executives. Social media provide another world-flattening set of technologies. You saw the first images of a jet landing in the Hudson River and scenes of strife on the streets of a curtained Iran via social media. Whether you’re embracing it or ignoring it, electronic social media are a force for transformation, and that’s where Team MSU works. At MSU, we have social media channels to communicate with alumni, students, and the public. Our university-level Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube links are now highlighted on our Web pages for easy access, and they’re complemented by posts, tweets and links from our colleges, departments, faculty and students. You can follow the work of researchers in remote Kenya and China and yes, if you’re a Spartan sports fan, there’s an iPhone application for you. We’re using social media and digital channels to draw us closer together and also to connect with those outside of Team MSU. Remember our three core values? Quality, inclusiveness and connectivity all work together to make a difference. At Michigan State, there really is an app for that, employing technology that doesn’t change what we do so much as help us to do it better. We saw it at the Spartan TweetUp last January at the International Center to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief. We see it as our researchers explore how to use social media to improve the rate of organ donation. We see it in the work that Career Services Network does with students and graduates to tap online channels to form their own career and social networks. So alumni, stay in touch.

  • To Save the World, Eat Insects | Martha Stewart Living
    August 14, 2017 To Save the World, Eat Insects Why this Texas company thinks crickets are the future of food. By Bridget Shirvell 125 MORE S H A RE S PHOTOGRAPHY BY: COURTESY OF ASPIRE Find a bowl of slightly roasted crickets as part of the spread at your friend's backyard barbecue and chances are you'll be looking for a new squad. "There's an ick factor, that's people's first impression," said Vincent Vitale, business development manager of Aspire Food Group. Aspire, which is said to be the world's first fully automated cricket farm, is betting on people getting over the ick factor. Based in Texas, the company farms and produces a variety of edible cricket products, sold through its Aketta line. Think cricket protein flour, paleo granola and cricket protein snacks, such as whole roasted crickets and flavored roasted crickets. (Make Your Own Granola -- Whether You Add Cricket Powder is Up to You) PHOTOGRAPHY BY: COURTESY OF ASPIRE This is what an automated cricket farm looks like. WHAT CRICKETS TASTE LIKE Crickets -- I'm taking Vincent's word here -- have a slight sunflower seed-like taste, with a bit of earthy nuttiness and are crispy like chips. WHY THE WORLD NEEDS CRICKETS There's long history of crickets and other insects staring in dishes from cuisines around the globe. Nearly two billion people regularly eat insects, and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization would like even more people to give them a shot. That's because insects are an incredible source of protein, 30 grams of crickets is about 20 grams of protein, compared to beef with 8 grams of protein, and farming them is much more sustainable than producing beef, poultry and fish.

  • Chapter 15 - Red Cedar Rebounds
    Chapter 15 - Red Cedar Rebounds You cannot step twice into the same river. Heraclitus (circa 535 BC – 475 BC) While Heraclitus posited that “you cannot step twice into the same river,” the question is whether one tries a first time step into life’s river of challenges. For centuries the Red Cedar River has flowed from points east of Okemos, through Okemos and the campus of Michigan State University, and onward to points west. But, over the past half-century, only a select group of Okemos High Chieftain basketball players realized their dream of grabbing a rebound on the Chieftains home court and moving the basketball from the Chieftains O-ZONE to the Spartans IZZONE to become a Michigan State Spartan. Yet one Chieftain-cum-Spartan – Kristen Rasmussen – did step twice into the Red Cedar to return to the basketball court on which she once played Chieftain basketball and serve as head coach of the Okemos High girls’ basketball program. Over the past 60 seasons of Spartans basketball (‘60-61 to ’19-‘20), only 14 Chieftain basketball players traveled down the Red Cedar to change their uniforms from Maroon and White of the Chieftains to the Green and White of the Spartans, this happening when they stepped onto the court of Jenison Field House or the Breslin Center The “Time Line” graphics on the next two pages show the seasons in which Okemos High Chieftains were members of a Michigan State University Spartans basketball squad, with the second graphic showing the seasons (maroon) in which a Spartans basketball squad had no Chieftain.
