Bulldog Ambassadors

At Montana Western, our Bulldog Ambassadors are passionate students who represent the heart of our institution. They connect with prospective students, families, and the community, sharing their personal experiences and providing an inside look into campus life. Our ambassadors assist the admissions office in recruitment efforts by giving tours and helping with various events around campus.

Involvement at UMW: I enjoy participating in intramural sports and have been involved in PATH, Terra Verde, Fly Fishing Club, and Education Club. 

“I chose Montana Western because of the small campus community, the block schedule, and because my family has been attending school here since the 1960s. I wanted to become a Bulldog Ambassador to support UMW and help the campus community grow and thrive.”

Favorite activity to do in Dillon: I love the sun, so anything outdoors! Hiking, playing at the reservoir, or just reading a good book.

“I chose Montana Western because I love the small campus and town of Dillon. Everyone is so nice here and it is really easy to get to know people. The small class sizes are definitely one of my favorite parts because it is easy to become close with your professors and they are always willing to help. I wanted to become a Bulldog Ambassador to help students feel welcome when they come visit campus and draw the Montana Western community together.”

“I chose Montana Western because I like the block schedule; it is close to home, and affordable. The community both on and off campus is so amazing and tightly knit. I chose to be a Bulldog Ambassador because I want to bring a sense of community and belonging to college students and make them have as wonderful of an experience in college as I have had so far!”
