Montana State University Billings is heading on a Buzzin’ Beyond Billings tour of Eastern Montana, and their first stop is Miles City on Tuesday, July 24. The community, alumni and friends of the University are invited to a free luncheon lecture from noon to 1 p.m. at Miles Community College, rooms 316 and 317.
Enjoy free lunch while you meet Yellowjacket and Pioneer staff, faculty and administrators for updates from MSUB and MCC campuses. New MSU Billings Chancellor Dan Edelman will be on tour and hopes to meet people from all over Eastern Montana as the group travels to Miles City, Glendive, Sidney and Poplar over three days.
“Many MSU Billings students and alumni have deep roots in Eastern Montana. Often they’ve had to come to Billings to learn about the great things we’re doing on campus. Now, we’re coming to them in force – to meet them on the plains of our state face-to-face. We want to connect with Eastern Montana communities and the families and friends of our Yellowjackets, past and future. Our aim is to raise awareness, entice prospective students, and strengthen relationships with the people who matter most to our University,” said Chancellor Edelman.
University athletics, recruitment, development, alumni, and others will also be on the bus from Billings.
President Stacy Kippenstein of Miles Community College says MCC and MSUB have a long history of serving Eastern Montana and partnering to serve students.
“This event is a great continuation of that partnership, and I am confident students will find it easy to start here and go there, as our motto suggests,” said President Klippenstein.
Once you’ve heard from MSU Billings, stick around so they can hear from you during an alumni and community focus group in MCC room 322 from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Don’t miss this opportunity to provide feedback to the University so they can better serve you and all of Eastern Montana.
The luncheon lecture is sponsored by Miles Community College. RSVPs to (406) 247-5781 or alumni@msubillings.edu are appreciated, but not required.
