Michigan State University is sometimes referred to as "Moo U." I wear our land grant heritage proudly, although MSU has expanded far beyond agricultural fields now.
One bonus to a school with a bovine research, food processing, and food packaging programs?
The ice cream.
MSU's Dairy Store is famous for its innovative flavors, including one for each Big Ten School, as well as other whimsical flavors related to Spartan life. My favorites are Frozen Four (bright green mint ice cream with tiny peppermint patties) and Buckeye Blitz (so sue me if I'm in love with the Ohio State flavor - it has tiny chocolate-coated peanut butter balls in it).
Given that our ceremony will be sometime in the hours of 4-5 and a light meal will follow almost immediately, with cake at an undecided time, there might be a need for a snack . . . and the Dairy Store has changeover buckets at very affordable prices. (Changeover buckets are the result of an effort to clean the ice cream machine as little as possible. Flavors are cycled through from vanilla into the more exotic things, leaving a bucket in between flavors that can't be sold at the ice cream shop. These are available to resident mentors for free or to the public for purchase.)
A shout out also to Dairy Store cheese - I love their cheddar for grilled cheese or in chowder.
