Column: Good teams find ways to win, MSU football took that first step
Good teams find a way to win even when things aren't going their way. MSU may not be that team every game, but they were on Saturday night.
COMMENTARY
Editorial: MSU, we need direct answers
MSU talked a big game about making sure things are handled safely during the pandemic, but now that we’re at our most vulnerable state having people back in East Lansing, there is a lack of direct communication to the students, staff and faculty at the university.

Letter to the editor: Never Forget September 11th
"And yet, in this moment of darkness, the United States did what we do best. We came together as a country." In a letter to the editor, Charlie Jones writes about remembering 9/11 20 years later.
COMMENTARY
This year you’re the priority: Our commitment to sharing the stories that make up MSU
The State News is a student newspaper, and we don’t want to lose focus of that. As students, we offer a unique perspective many of our competitors can’t. We know what students care about. We know what students want to see because we’re students too.
COMMENTARY
Letter from the editor: Times are changing, but we’ll always figure it out
I may not be able to ease your anxieties, and I may not be able to tell you if this is what's best, because even after 17 months, there are unknowns about COVID-19. But I can tell you this: No matter what happens next, The State News has you covered.
COMMENTARY
Editorial: The University should require COVID-19 vaccines
There’s still time to support student safety. We’d much rather require students to be vaccinated than see another outbreak that results in another year of virtual learning. Now is the time to be proactive, MSU. Do the right thing.
COMMENTARY
Editorial: MSU's allyship isn't enough — it's performative
By failing to condemn the acts of hatred against MSU students, MSU made one thing clear: the university does not support its LGBTQ+ community.

Column: The glaring absence in the crowd as I walk to my commencement
This year, I’ve been trying to focus a lot more on the people I still have around.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Column: Aaron Henry's decision to enter NBA Draft is the right one
Aaron Henry is leaving MSU to enter the NBA Draft – and he made the right call.
COMMENTARY
Column: covering sports from the backburner in a pandemic
It was Nov. 29, 2020, and the Spartans were gearing up to play the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I was on gamer duty, sick to my stomach as I tried my best to finish the article before the final buzzer sounded like my editor had wanted. Gamers always had to go up immediately, that was the No. 1 rule. However, in that same moment that I felt sick to my stomach, I felt most alive.
COMMENTARY
Column: 'Thoughts and prayers' won't fix this, but better gun control laws will
"Your words will not fix bullet wounds. Your words will not fill the voids left in so many people’s lives. So stop apologizing and then letting it happen over and over, and over again. We don’t need your thoughts. We need your actions. We need an assault weapons ban."
COMMENTARY
Column: Student-athletes are only human; it's time we make sure we treat them as such
College athletes don't deserve to be treated like this. It's time we start taking that seriously.

Columna: Cómo perdí mi acento Mexicano sin darme cuenta
Para todos los que son multilingües, creo que está bien aceptar el hecho de que no siempre es fácil, pero hablar más de un lenguaje es un gran privilegio tener que siempre nos pondrá un paso adelante y eso es lo que debemos recordar.
COMMENTARY
Column: How I lost my Mexican accent without realizing it
To everyone else that is multilingual, I think it’s OK to come to terms with the fact that it’s not always easy, but it’s also a great privilege to have that will always put us a step ahead and that's what we have to remember.
COMMENTARY
Editorial: Don't move on, continue supporting MSU’s AAPI community
We cannot continue to fall into a cycle where we only care about minority communities when tragedy strikes. Asian Americans are not fetishes, exotic, fantasies, viruses or other. They are human.

A review of "Zack Snyder's Justice League" from the perspective of a DC comic books lover.
COMMENTARY
Column: My personal mental health journey during the pandemic
I recognize that I was extremely fortunate to have the friends and family that I have because I would not be writing this article without them. This has made me realize that the connections that we have on a personal level need to be prioritized, and that we need to be diligent in checking up with one another, especially now.
