Firefighters
offered
deadline extension
Firefighters saved the day, and now UM is saving them some seats and some
money. To show its appreciation and support of students fighting fires during the worst
season in 90 years, UM offered to save classroom seats and waive late fees.
More than 150 student firefighters took advantage of the offer that kept them on the
fire lines well after the Sept. 5 start of classes. Firefighters have until Sept. 25 to
show up for classes. Faculty members are holding seats for them, and the administration is
waiving late enrollment fees.
Meanwhile, the School of Forestry will offer a six-week special topics course on fire
management beginning in early October. The class will include a lineup of guest speakers
that should be interesting to students, as well as the Missoula community.
