Last month, the MSU Extension and AgBioResearch Fall State Advisory Council Meeting brought together partners and leaders throughout Sault Ste. Marie, Escanaba, and Chatham. Our very own James DeDecker hosted the council for lunch and a tour of the UP Research and Extension Center’s South Farm, providing an opportunity to highlight the work happening here in the U.P. Visits like this create valuable opportunities to share what’s happening on the ground, hear different perspectives, and strengthen connections between MSU AgBioResearch, MSU Extension, and the communities we serve.

On Friday, Oct. 9, Michigan State University broke ground on Packaging 2.0, an expansion that will nearly double the size of the School of Packaging building, creating new spaces for hands-on learning, research and collaboration.

Made possible in part by a historic $47 million commitment from Chuck and Jackie Frasier, this next chapter will help MSU continue leading the way in packaging education and innovation.

YEAR OF THE SPARTAN | HARVEST

Every harvest begins with the land. What comes next depends on the people, knowledge, and innovation we bring to it.

For more than a century, Michigan State University has advanced its land-grant mission through agricultural research, education, and outreach.
Today, Spartans are helping address the challenges of growing food, sustaining natural resources, and strengthening food systems—not only in Michigan, but around the world.

From the fields where food is grown to the laboratories where tomorrow's solutions take shape, Spartan ingenuity is helping cultivate a more sustainable future.

This National Farmers Day, we celebrate the farmers, researchers, educators, and innovators whose work helps feed our communities and shape what comes next.

Spartans Will.

Featuring another bright scholar in honor of 35 years of VIPP! 🤩🎉

From Kazakhstan to campus, Bolashak scholar Isatay Jakupov, Ph.D. has taken numerous opportunities to dive deeper into scientific collaboration within the related fields of veterinary science and agriculture.

Dr. Jakupov recently completed a 12-month scientific internship at Michigan State while representing Kazakhstan and the Saken Seifullin Kazakh Agrotechnical Research University 🇰🇿

His internship in the reproductive physiology laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Augusto Madureira explored various methods for detecting pregnancy-specific proteins in cattle 🧬👨‍🔬

One of his notable achievements was co-authoring a scientific publication with Dr. Madureira: “Clinical trials of a test kit for the visual diagnosis of uterine diseases in cows,” successfully published in the Central Asian Journal of Veterinary Science in 2026.

“I appreciated the enthusiasm and dedication he brought to the lab during his time with us,” Dr. Madureira said. “He worked independently while also being receptive to feedback and collaboration, and consistently approached the work with curiosity, care, and professionalism.”

Utilizing the immersive scientific experiences he gained at MSU, Jakupov will continue his work in the study of modern veterinary diagnostic methods and strengthen international professional connections for future research projects.
