Montana Regents Tour State Seeking Input on Goals

By Lucia Stewart, 8-28-07

There is a rare opportunity to address concerns to the Montana University System as a series of Regent’s and public conversations commence in the Bozeman area.

Its goal: Open dialogue between representatives of the university system with communities about the future of the system fitting Montana’s needs.

Last year, associate commissioners traveled Montana discussing the state’s healthcare and the university system. This year, they are taking a broader approach. They are seeking input as they develop their strategic plan for what the University system focuses on as guiding goals and objectives.

Future forums will be held in Havre, Great Falls, Miles City, Glendive, Helena, Billings, Butte, Dillon and Missoula/Bitterroot throughout October.
