BACKGROUND:It's an exciting time at Montana State University! Our university carries tremendous momentum — we see it in the achievements of students and faculty in our classrooms and laboratories, in the victories achieved by our Bobcat student-athletes and across the state as we serve communities through our land-grant mission. Our current strategic plan, Choosing Promise, was adopted in 2019 and amended in 2023. It has been valuable in shaping our campus and our success as a university. The mission, vision and core values from that plan will remain in place, but now is the time for us to generate new ideas, new goals and ambitious and actionable strategic priorities that will take Montana State to even greater heights. Everyone at MSU cares so much about this university and about the great state we call home. We know there are great ideas out there. We invite you — challenge you — to take this opportunity and put those ideas on the table and play an essential part in shaping the future of our university.
