Welcome to UM's Employee News Site
UM is proud to present Under the M, a website about and for UM employees. It's designed to complement the weekly e-newsletter reaching more than 3,000 Grizzly employees.
From Montana to the Middle of the Ocean
Two UM students followed their curiosity all the way to the South Atlantic subtropical gyre with SUBSEA. During the OBVI SUBSEA expedition — supported by Schmidt Sciences — Dr. Matthew Church (UM) and an international team of collaborators investigated how nutrients move between the sunlit and twilight zones of the ocean.
Life aboard the research vessel brought together not just scientists, but marine technicians, engineers, artists and storytellers, each playing a vital role in understanding these vast, dynamic ocean systems.
Grizzlies are Curious and Wise...
Working at UM, we can access the knowledge creation, creativity and exchange of ideas happening all over campus first-hand, by attending talks and presentations taking place almost daily.
This list will be updated each week as new information becomes available. Use the Under the M submission form to share details about an upcoming event here.
In the summertime, UM hosts numerous workshops and events which may be of interest to the campus community. Also, don't miss Shakespeare in the Parks on the Oval in late August!
