What We Do
We Are Montana in the Classroom engages K-12 students with University of Montana role models - faculty, graduate students, researchers, and staff - with the goal of inspiring them about opportunities in higher education and beyond. UM role models visit schools and after-school programs to share their personal experiences, lead a fun, hands-on activity, and provide information about opportunities at UM.
