MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz talks initiatives, ethics, and Izzo

Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz is traveling to the Upper Peninsula for the first time ever to watch former Northern Michigan University Wildcat Tom Izzo coach his Spartans basketball team in an exhibition match against NMU this weekend at the Superior Dome. President Guskiewicz took some time beforehand to speak to Public Radio 90 News Director Nicole Walton about his university's newest initiatives, the importance of a partnership between NMU and MSU, and Izzo's legacy.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
