The Spartan Bus Tour is an opportunity for MSU faculty and administrators to join President Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Ph.D., as they visit locations throughout Michigan to build community connections and strengthen the university’s commitment to education, research, outreach and extension.
In October 2025, Guskiewicz and a group of faculty and administrators traveled to the Upper Peninsula for a three-day, two-night opportunity to connect with and learn more about the communities of Michigan’s U.P. and portions of northern Michigan. Previous tours explored the western Lower Peninsula as well as the metro Detroit region.
Spartan Bus Tour formats
The Spartan Bus Tour program takes two trips each year, the Regional Route and the Local Loop.
