Museum of the Rockies Tour

Today we had an awesome class! We went on a tour with Jack Horner of the Museum of the Rockies. Jack Horner's newest book, How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever was just released. He was showing us around the Museum and giving us a little insider information. Now you can tell visiting families that MSU's Mueseum of the Rockies is home to the largest T-Rex skull.

Almost Here!!!

It's getting to be that time of year again. Spring is in the air at Montana State University and that means one thing....AdvoCat Recruitment for 2009-2010 academic year! At the begining of April the Office of Admissions will launch our campus wide recruitment effort looking for the best and brightest student ambassadors...the ADVOCATS. Here is a preview of my favorite poster.

If you are interested you can download an application and apply by April 17th at 5pm.

AdvoCat Class 3/11

AdvoCat class last week was busy as usual! We had presentations from the University Honors Program and Residence Life. Both programs are really important to highlight while on tours with prospective students. In the spring we recevie tons of questions about living on campus. Remember that the students and familes visiting campus always want to know more about your experiences living in the halls!

Also, we spent some time at the end of class taking photos for our next publication, the AdvoCat Newsletter. This newsletter will be sent around campus promoting our program to Deans, Directors and Department Heads.

Derrick and Sadie also recruited current AdvoCats to return to the program next year. So far 13 students have signed up for returner interviews. That is awesome! If any current AdvoCats are interested in returning who have not signed up, contact Ren for scheduling an interview March 25th or 26th.

Finally, there were a few reminders for our next class. We will be meeting outside of Admissions in the SUB. You can leave your bags in Ren's office before we walk over to the Museum of the Rockies with Jack Horner for our tour. Should be really exciting!

Enjoy your spring break!
