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 am a senior this year and have been an ambassador for 3 years now. I am also a student athlete and a captain for the volleyball team. Last season we were named Conference Champions and made our first appearance in school history at NAIA Nationals.
Statement | I decided to come to Montana Western because of the one-of-a-kind experience you get here! I knew the second I stepped onto campus that this would be my new home from the welcoming people and community, to the block schedule, and so much more. Sharing in unique ways everything UMW has to offer is the reason I am an ambassador and being able to brag about this amazing place where I spend my college years.
