Activists seek recognition at MSU
The contributions of students throughout MSU's 150-year history have been ignored, some students say. So to draw attention to student accomplishments, a number of student organizations started a campaign called "150 Years of Struggle," which kicked off Friday during the university's Founders' Day celebration. "This is about how students have contributed for the last 150 years," said Erik Green, director of racial, ethnic and progressive affairs for the Residence Halls Association. "The campaign focuses on the accomplishments of student groups through hard work, dedication and struggle," he said. A year-long series of events will be organized by students from the Coalition of Racial Ethnic Students, or CORES, the Council of Progressive Students, or COPS.
