From the Director Dear Alumni, Fall has come and your campus is alive with the activities that come along with the new school year. I participated in the "Move In Day" project, helping students move into the residence halls. In the process, I met several alumni who were proudly bringing their children to MSU. The kids had obviously been raised as Bobcats, another generation for Montana State University. It made my heart proud. Recently, I visited alumni in the Flathead Valley, Seattle, Dallas, Houston and on campus. One of the benefits of my job is the opportunity to meet such wonderful people, MSU alumni. Cody, Class of 2002, came to the pregame tailgate. We had lunch with Ross, class of 1938. He has already participated in his 60-year reunion. I met Bill, Jack, Kalli, Tom, Ben and Kathy, Nancy and Gary and so many others. Their lives have taken different career and personal journeys, however, all shared one bond. The were proud graduates of Montana State and were appreciative of the education they received while here. We had fun and shared laughs about college life in Bozeman. Your University is thriving. President Gamble has brought an energy and momentum to the campus that is evident in the classroom, in campus activities and within the family of alumni. Today's students are getting a quality education because of the dedication of our faculty and staff. They are enjoying a rich period of their life living in the Gallatin Valley.
