Always great to invest in higher education. MSU is becoming an even better school right before our very eyes.

Awesome gift no doubt about it.

The story says this was tied for the 2nd largest gift. Isn’t it the 3rd largest behind the recent $100MM donation to nursing and the $70+MM donation from norm abjornson?
