MSU: Spartans Shine To Wrap Up Tech Tour ’12
It’s a world-class research university, America’s pioneering land grant college, the first place on the planet to study agriculture scientifically, and just passed a little-known school called MIT for No. 1 in graduate studies of particle physics. So while it may be a rebuilding year at Spartan Stadium on Saturday afternoons, Michigan State University is and always will be a must-visit as long as there are Great Lakes Innovation and Techology Report Fall Tech Tours.

It’s still no-nonsense technology, but with an eye toward tomorrow.
Tech Tour Day Five: Biotech, Entrepreneurship At CMU
