As the crisp Montana air ushers in the holiday season, our beloved University of Montana stands proudly against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Although the season is changing, our commitment to the accessibility and excellence that has defined UM for over a century never waivers.
My tenure as president has been an incredible journey. I’ve witnessed the growth of a dedicated and passionate community — and your belief in UM’s mission has been the driving force behind our remarkable progress.
As we enter this season of reflection and generosity, I invite you to celebrate the remarkable strides UM has made this year. Below, I highlight a few exciting developments, and I encourage you to explore our news hub for the full scope of our achievements.

 

UM Flagship Campus Enrollment Surges: We’ve experienced our most significant enrollment growth in 15 years, with a nearly 6% increase. Enrollment trends nationwide have declined sharply, but the quality of education offered at UM means we tackle the world’s challenges and continue to attract bright minds from Montana and beyond.

 

Forestry Student Receives Prestigious Award: Being selected as a Truman Scholar is a life-changing achievement, and we’re proud to celebrate Jaiden Stansberry and showcase the caliber of talent at UM.

 

Pulitzer Prize Winner Joins UM Journalism Faculty: We’re thrilled to welcome Lisa Krantz, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, to our faculty, further elevating our journalism program’s reputation and offerings.

As you reflect on your own UM experiences and memories of our stunning campus, remember that your connection to this institution allows students to hike the M, skate on the ice rink at the Oval, reach academic goals and dream as wide as the Big Sky.
Thank you for being an essential part of the UM story. Stay connected for more exciting updates on our progress and achievements!
