MSU student wins first place in a national science and engineering competition

A Montana State University student who grew up on a ranch between Cutback and Browning beat out students from across the country to win first place in a national science and engineering competition recently.

Jordan Kennedy, a mechanical engineering http://www.coe.montana.edu/me/ sophomore, won first in both the oral and poster presentation at the National American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) conference in Albuquerque in November.

"It’s very rare for a student to win both national awards," said Marjorie Old Horn, director of American Indian Research Opportunities http://www.montana.edu/wwwai/ (AIRO) at MSU.
