MASU was pleased to host our annual Art in the Legislature reception last week. Art in the Legislature brings together student-artists from across all 15 public universities to lend their works to the Michigan Legislature for one year. Thank you to the student-artists for letting their work be displayed, and thank you to Senator Sylvia Santana for speaking at our event!
