Montana State University Mountains & Minds Fall 2019

MountainsandMinds
Dear friends,

I frequently begin my comments with these words: Welcome to 
YOUR university, Montana State. I then explain that because 
of its historic land-grant mission, Montana State is 
dedicated to the education of the sons and daughters of the 
state as well as improving the lives of each and every 
Montanan. 

This year, however, there is an addition to that phrase. 
That is because it is also YOUR year at Montana State.

YOUR stands for the Year of Undergraduate Research. 
We have dedicated the entire academic year of 2019-2020 
to undergraduate research in preparation for the National 
Conference on Undergraduate Research that will be held at 
MSU on March 26-28. We expect more than 4,000 students, 
faculty and staff from around the country visit MSU 
during the conference to present and discuss research. 
It is going to be a grand affair, including many events 
that will be open to the public. We hope you can join us. 
You can find out more at montana.edu/ncur2020.

As most of you know, undergraduate research has long 
been part of MSU’s culture, and we believe all 
undergraduates should have the opportunity to experience 
research directly. We have long known that what you hear 
you forget. What you see you might remember. But, when you 
do things with your hands, the learning experience really 
takes hold.

You will find many examples of that culture and the impact 
of MSU research on these pages. We hope you enjoy them. 

During this time of giving thanks, know that you are in 
our fondest thoughts and that we are grateful to have you 
in our community.

Sincerely,
Waded Cruzado
