Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Montana State University has completed an upgrade to its campus network, more than tripling the bandwidth available for students, faculty and, especially, researchers.

The upgrade will make sure MSU has the network resources it needs for the future, said Jerry Sheehan, the university’s vice president for information technology.

"The network is the foundation for our campus digital infrastructure," Sheehan said. "It allows us to provide cloud-based tools for collaboration, online learning and our business environments, while also acting as the lifeblood for research. Our new network capacity meets not only today’s need, but prepares us for the years to come."
