#MontanaStudents
On behalf of all Montana colleges and universities, we invite you and your employees, your school faculty and staff and communities across Montana to participate in this College Spirit / Pride Week!
What an incredible opportunity to encourage higher education by promoting education through those most visible to our Montana students, the faculty, staff and administrations in our schools. We hope you will participate and encourage schools in your area to do the same. We are confident all Montana colleges and universities will be represented in addition to several out‐of‐state institutions. We see terrific value in promoting higher education within the state of Montana and to show students today the variety of opportunities available to them. This effort will strive to advocate higher education through increased public awareness from the people they spend so much time with at school. This College Pride Week will not only show these students that their mentors have gone to college, but also, join in celebrating the achievements of our colleges and universities through alumni, friends and fans.
What: College Spirit / Pride Week Celebration The goal of College Pride Week is to encourage staff, faculty and administration to wear a shirt or clothing representing the college they attended (preferred). They could also choose to represent an institution nearest their community or simply choose a college they are a fan of or support. Our hope is to have a tremendous cross‐section of higher education from all Montana institutions being represented to out‐of‐state colleges, private universities and ivy‐league representation.
When: We hope you might consider adopting College Spirit / Pride Week while the MPSEOC college fair tours will be in your area in September. Or, you are welcome to choose one specific day for the most visibility if a week seems too long. Generally, the College Fair Region dates are as follows:
Eastern Region College Fairs: September 14 ‐ 17
Central Region College Fairs: September 21 ‐ 24
Western Region College Fairs: September 28 ‐ October 1
Please visit us online @ www.SupportMontanaStudents.org to see the specific locations of college fairs. You may

We look forward to your enthusiastic participation in College Spirit / Pride Week, as a new effort to promote higher education in Montana.
