'Spartans Will' Ad Touts Research Into The World's Biggest Problems

Showcasing MSU's cutting edge facilities and top notch faculty, staff and students -- the university gave a preview of a new commercial on its Facebook page Wednesday.

The spot is set to air during men's basketball.

Over shots of research teams doing their work, the narrator ask the question, "When do we give up? When do we just close our eyes and say, 'that's it. This water is too poluted. This disease too far along.' To a Spartan the answer is simple. Never."

The 1:18 video focuses on research in the fields of renewable energy, clean water, social sciences and medicine and how Spartans tackle the world's problems without much fanfare.
