A Welcome from the Director Welcome to Montana State University-Northern Foundation's website. The relationship between the Foundation and the University can be characterized as a "joint venture". An important feature to our model is the integration it encourages between the University planning and the Foundation activities. Northern, in turn, has the opportunity to immerse alumni, business, industry, and friends in the mainstream of University thinking, to explain why particular directions are taken, and how each goal fits into the University's master plan. This enables Northern to be successful in presenting its case as a worthy investment. Each of us within the Northern family accept the responsibility you place on us through your investment. We are here to teach, to recruit, and to acquire supplemental funds. Your investment in Montana State University-Northern is an investment in preparing students today, for tomorrow's workforce.
