Hi, 

One of our greatest strengths at the University of Montana comes from the diversity of lived experiences, ideas and people who choose to study here. Sometimes finding your place in a new community can be challenging. But you’re in luck because at UM the Theresa Branch Center is home to student organizations who are looking for new members just like you.  

When you arrive on campus this fall, please stop by the Branch Center to meet some of these UM students and learn about the many events they host all year long. College is a fantastic opportunity to “branch out” (get it?) and learn from folks who have different lived experiences than you. All are welcome! 

To explore all our student organizations and upcoming campus events, Griz Hub is the place to go! Here, you can search student groups and upcoming events by keyword, interest area, and other descriptive categories. 

Don’t forget to join UM’s new ZeeMee group for the incoming class of 2027! You can join the conversation here. 

Talk to you soon, Griz!
