University Club of Michigan State University

Some of the best summer memories start around a table.

Our new summer menu is here, featuring fresh flavors, seasonal inspiration, and the kind of dishes that make you want to linger just a little longer with family and friends.

A special shout-out to Board Member Stella Cash, whose enthusiasm for our Parmesan Stuffed Red Bliss Potatoes helped earn them a spot on the menu after she enjoyed them at a Club event.

Thank you to Chef Eric Manning and his culinary team for bringing another season of creativity and hospitality to the table.

We can't wait for you to try it.

Saturday's Summer Kick-Off Luau made it official: School's out and summer is in session!

The best way to celebrate? With a tropical-themed pool party at the U-Club, of course. Complete with live music, a Kona Ice truck, a delicious Hawaiian buffet, and a cannonball contest hosted by our amazing lifeguards, we welcomed summer a splash! 💦

Today was the first day of our water aerobics class! Led by instructor Nicole Brilliantes, this high-energy, low-impact summer workout challenged members to stretch, strengthen, and splash!

💦"Water" you waiting for? With the Fitness Center now open to ALL U-Club adult members, consider this your invitation to experience one of our group exercise classes! Included at no additional cost, water aerobics is the perfect way to get active and get aqua-ainted with other U-Club members.

We're still thinking about last week's Charcuterie Workshop! Our members learned "olive" the tricks and techniques to make a truly stunning spread. 🫒With Executive Chef Eric Manning leading a live demonstration, members experimented with cheeses, fruit, crackers, meats, and more to create charcuterie boards that were as fabulous as they were flavorful!

Friday, May 22, marked the opening of pool season at the U-Club, and the very first splash belonged to the Johnsons — a mother and daughter stepping into summer together. ☀️💦

The Club pool is more than a place to swim. It’s where friendships grow, families gather, and memories are made year after year. From cannonballs to quiet poolside conversations, these are the moments that stay with us long after summer fades.

Here’s to another wonderful season at the U-Club — full of connection, tradition, and memories still to be made.

Today we celebrate the retirement of a truly special member of our U-Club team: Bill Kirkendall.

For years, he has been our jack-of-all-trades, our dependable team member we could always count on whenever and wherever help was needed. Reliable, responsible, hardworking, and always willing to lend a hand, he made an impact on this Club in more ways than we can count.

But beyond all of that, he will be remembered most for the way he connected with our members — especially our littlest ones — with his kindness, quick wit, and playful sense of humor. His jokes, smile, and familiar presence will be deeply missed by members and staff alike.

Please join us in congratulating him on his retirement and thanking him for the years of dedication, friendship, and laughter he brought to our U-Club family. We wish him nothing but happiness in this next chapter!

Tuesdays are for Trivia! 💡

Our cocktail lounge was crowded last night as members answered a medley of questions on movies, mythical creatures, sports memorabilia, and more!
