Montana State University History and Traditions

Do you know how Montana State University came to have its school colors of blue and gold, and how they became the bobcats? Have you heard about the successful 1930 strike by women students and what they accomplished? About the Golden Ghosts and their Ultimate Sacrifice during WWII?

These and other stories were related by Kerry Hanson, Vice President of Alumni Engagement at the MSU Alumni Foundation, to a gathering of theĀ MSU Retiree Association, an organization that informs, connects and advocates for all university retirees. You can learn more about the about the Alumni Foundation at msuaf.org, and you can learn about, register, and see a listing of future events (open to the public) at the MSU Retiree Association website.

Recorded at the MSU Alumni Foundation on January 14, 2020.
