Each issue of the Montanan lifts my spirits as I read through the pages, look at the ads, and see the changes in both the University and surrounding community. I will continue to read the issues, looking longingly at all of the mountains, snow, and fall colors ...

Barbara LaMont ’92

As a graduate of The University of Montana, I anticipate the release of every new issue. The Montanan is my way of staying in touch with the community, lifestyle, and spirit that I have loved my entire life. As I continue to find myself farther and farther from Montana, I only need to pick up the magazine to find myself back in the great state!

We recently received the fall Montanan and think it was the best since I started to receive it after graduating. We get back to Missoula every year. Keep up the good work.
