For UM graduate Katia Chavez, wildlife biology was just the beginning.

During her time at UM, Chavez founded a STEM-focused student organization, created a Spanish-language documentary and volunteered with Soft Landing Missoula, building connections across cultures and communities.

Those experiences helped her discover how science, storytelling and service could come together to shape a career.

Now, she’s putting that passion into action working as a songbird technician in eastern Montana before returning to New Mexico for a career in habitat restoration.

Her UM experience shows how learning can extend far beyond the classroom and into the community. Read more: bit.ly/UMchavez

At the dawn of a new semester, the University of Montana has launched a landmark fundraising effort to help more in-state students achieve a UM education.

Managed by the UM Foundation, the For Montana Scholarship Initiative will expand scholarship opportunities for Montana residents through new renewable scholarships that will support students from enrollment through graduation. It will also create new ways for alumni, businesses, foundations and friends of the University to invest in the next generation of leaders, innovators and community builders.

“Our goal is simple: If a Montana student wants to attend the University of Montana, we will do everything we can to remove the barriers standing in their way,” UM President Jeremiah Shinn said.
