Learn how to produce a 3D model of terrain elevation for printing on a 3D printer. We will learn about 3D models for 3D printing, digital elevation models (DEMs), where to find DEM data to create our printable export, and then use a plug in DEMto3D in the open source software QGIS to create a model. If time allows, basic tools for 3D model editing in Meshmixer or slicing software will be demonstrated.

Join us in celebrating 10 years of creativity, collaboration, and innovation at the Hollander Makerspace Open House! Explore the evolution of the space through hands-on demos, tool showcases, and conversations with past and present makers over coffee and cookies. Whether you're a curious newcomer or longtime supporter, this milestone event offers a chance to connect, create, and envision the future of making at MSU.

Honor your favorite bird by crafting a zine! Join us as we create zines that honor your favorite bird (I see you, chickadees!) or a bird that just makes you curious (what's up with those field sparrows?). We will provide paper, drawing materials, and magazines to cut out. No prior zine making required - we will help you create!

Event held on 4-West.

This event is in conjunction with One Grand Read.

The digital age has brought us virtually (pun, intended) limitless access to information in the digital age. Despite this access, Latine communities continue to confront the challenges of rampant misinformation, censorship and misrepresentation—influencing how Latines are depicted in news coverage to popular culture to domestic and international policies that directly impact (and harm) our communities. Accurate Latine narratives and exposure to our histories are as important as ever. In this timely and important symposium, we address representation and free speech through the lens of Puerto Rican storytelling.

Hosted by Latino Spartans & MSU Chicanx/Latinx Association (ChiLA).

Note: The first half of this event will take place at the Multicultural Center. The Library portion will begin at 1:30 in the Green Room.

Immersive data is everywhere. It's in every digital asset you see in a video game, a YouTube 360 video and the panoramic pictures you take with your mobile device. Drop in to learn about how 360 cameras, 3D scanners and our digitization equipment is used to create these new experiences and apply them to your research, assignments and presentations.

Ainda Estou Aqui (I’m Still Here), winner of the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards (2025), tells the powerful true story of Rubens Paiva’s arrest and disappearance in 1970s Rio de Janeiro and his wife Eunice’s relentless fight for the truth amid Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964–1985).

Based on the novel by Marcelo Rubens Paiva—son of Rubens and Eunice—the film portrays the Paiva family’s struggle to uncover Rubens’ fate in a nation gripped by political repression. The trauma of her husband's disappearance drives Eunice to study law, ultimately becoming a leading advocate for Indigenous rights in Brazil.

We invite the MSU community and the general public to a free screening and discussion on political oppression, censorship, fear, trauma, democratic challenges, and social upheaval. Faculty members will facilitate the conversation, encouraging critical engagement with the film’s historical and contemporary relevance.

This event is free and open to the public.

Good Workers, Government Workers: Public Memory and the Murrah Building Bombing

A monumental twelve-foot-by-fifteen-foot quilt commemorating eighty-nine federal workers murdered in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 was the result of a collaborative, nationwide effort organized by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). Originally intended for the newly rebuilt federal building in Oklahoma City, the quilt was instead added to the collections of the MSU Museum, where it has been stored for twenty-five years. A new exhibit of the quilt opens this October at the MSU Union.
