Kick off Spartan football season with a talk and book signing by Dr. David Kaufman, author of We Need You in the Locker Room, which provides a fascinating, unique, and immensely readable perspective on a game we only think we know.  A page-turner about a championship season, this book is also a smart, sensitive argument for how football can be preserved.



Dr. Kaufman served as the on-field embedded neurologist for the Michigan State University football team for 13 years. Dr. Kaufman currently serves as the Assistant Vice President of Clinical Affairs, he is a tenured Professor and Founding Chair of the Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology at MSU.



"Kaufman's perspective as a neurologist assigned to the Michigan State Spartans football team makes him an intimate witness to both the drama, teamwork, and courage of young athletes-and the toll this violent game exacts on their bodies.” Samuel G. Freedman



Copies of Dr. Kaufman’s book will be available for purchase and signing, with all proceeds going directly to the following two charitable funds:

· The Father John (Jake) Foglio Endowed Chair of Spirituality in the MSU College of Arts & Letters

· The George Webster Memorial Scholarship in MSU Athletics
