Summer Circle Theatre: Bringing productions to life

MSU updates and campus news

A Facebook post from MSU’s Dairy Store that says: Happy National Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day! This month we partnered with MSU's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to create a unique flavor called Rare Isotope Creams! This exciting flavor is a Blue Moon base filled with tons of red and blue Pop Rocks! We had so much fun working with the FRIB on this collaboration and learning more about the awesome work they do there! The FRIB is a world-class research, teaching and training center, hosting what is designed to be the most powerful rare isotope accelerator and a staple here on MSU's campus! Available throughout July, this flavor is a must try! This is accompanied by two photos: on the left, a photo of blue ice cream in a cup speckled with red and blue pop rocks in front of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams; on the right, a graphic with a black background that says “Rare Isotope Creams.”
