FIRST ANNUAL MEET N’ GREET
Applied Technology Center April 17th, 2015 6:00 p.m.
Who we are: Collegiate Stockgrowers at Montana State University-Northern is a committee within the Montana Stockgrowers Association designed to develop collegiate students into tomorrow’s leaders. It provides students with the opportunity to learn more about legislative process and to have a voice in their industry. Collegiate Stockgrowers serves as an avenue for collegiate members with an interest in agriculture to express their concerns in an effort to assist in the development of MSGA policy. With programs that directly affect the ranching community of the next generation and significant networking opportunities, Collegiate Stockgrowers provides the chance for tomorrow’s leaders to be involved today.
Objective: We are excited to introduce our newly formed Collegiate Stockgrowers to the campus of MSU-Northern as well as to the surrounding community. This event will help introduce the collegiate students of MSU-Northern to the campus and community as well as open up opportunities for not only this incoming school year of 2015-2016 but for years to come. We hope to establish a long and successful relationship between students, campus and community.
