MSU Roadrunners Graci Laird, left, a senior kinesiology major from Corinth, and Kate Fairburn, a junior educational psychology major from Madison, enjoy the new outdoor patio on the upper level of Perry Food Hall. As busy recruiters for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the two welcome the opportunity to relax in the recently added lounge space, just one of many upgrades to the historic dining hub during recent renovations.
