MSU recognizes Black History Month, and our community is coming together to strengthen resources, programs, research centers, and scholarships supporting Black students at MSU and promoting a culture of inclusion.
In celebration, Culinary Services will feature special chef-crafted menus in our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls from Sunday, Feb. 12, through Saturday, Feb. 25.
Below is a list of options we plan to offer in residential dining halls. Be sure to check our online menus at go.msu.edu/diningmenus or onsite menus in case any changes occur. Menus are subject to change due to supply chain challenges or other last-minute impacts on our selections.
