2023 Montana Science Fair Save the Date - https://mailchi.mp/5f74b23dee9b/2023-montana-science-fair-save-the-date

Judges are needed for the 67th Annual Montana Science Fair!

The 2022 fair will be offered as a hybrid event with virtual judging on Thursday, March 24, 2022 and in-person judging on Monday, March 28, 2022.

Please donate a few hours of your time to support young scientists! Encourage your science colleagues (including retirees), graduate students, and science majors to participate in this exciting event. Judging by scientists of science projects is a valuable service; it is also an excellent opportunity to engage young students (grades 6-12) in discussions about science. A variety of volunteer positions are also available on the day of the fair.

The Montana Science Fair is open to all middle school students grades 6-8 (Division II) and all high school students, grades 9-12 (Division I).

Sign up to volunteer here: https://hs.umt.edu/mtsciencefair/

The Missoulian did a great job showcasing some of the COVID-19 friendly engagement we are doing on campus. Reach out if you have any questions about reserving the ice rink or fire pits on the Oval.

Events such as ice skating, skiing and fire pit gatherings will celebrate the best of the season and foster community among students.

We've hosted our fair share of auctions and fundraisers and one of our unique set-up capabilities is our item spotlights. Lighting on items can effect how popular they are with your audience! Make sure you ask us about this when you book your next event with UM Conference and Event Services.

Greetings UM community,

This Thursday, ASUM student groups are holding a food drive in the University Center as part of the Can the Cats competition against MSU.

We encourage everyone with the ability to donate to bring nonperishable food items to support UM Food Pantry and your favorite student group(s). The top three student groups who receive the most donations will be awarded extra funding from ASUM.

Last year, UM beat MSU for the fourth time in 21 years, so let's can those Cats for a fifth time this year! Please consider donating on Thursday between 10AM and 3PM, and spread the word to family, friends, and colleagues.

Do you have bubble tea at your conferences?

The past couple of weeks have been absolute insanity! After a month of operating out of Thyme Out Local Cafe & Market, we realized that you all are going to keep us busy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In order to improve efficiency and be able to provide you with the best possible product, we determined that we would need our our own kitchen and space to work out of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For that reason, we will be relocating to the main floor of the University Center this fall! (We will continue to serve out of Thyme Out through the end of August).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This move is going to mean extended hours of availability, an opportunity for us to bring forth our own design and aesthetic, and more chances for us to explore menu variations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Students and the general public will both be welcome to visit us during all open hours! We hope for your continued support as we make this transition and continue to strive towards offering you the best boba around 🧋 🐻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
