Good morning, Bozeman.

About 257 high school seniors from 60 Montana towns visited MSU for STATE Days, a free campus preview that began on July 31 and allowed them to explore classes and campus life.

Students toured buildings—learned about scholarships and programs while joining campus tours and a Montanan dinner with MSU staff.

Bozeman's First Student is hiring 8 bus drivers and 4 monitors for the upcoming school year at $41 per hour and $28.13 per hour respectively—offering flexible schedules and full training for candidates without a commercial driver's license to help transport nearly 2,100 students safely.

Montana State University will host a free talk with Theodore Roosevelt IV at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 9, at Hager Auditorium in the MSU Museum of the Rockies—he will discuss his life, conservation efforts, and the fishing climate.

Gallatin County government has raised awareness about noxious weeds that threaten land and property during the summer—Assistant Coordinator Danielle Jones explained that invasive species like spotted knapweed and Canada thistle outcompete native plants and may harm livestock and wildlife. A local rancher recently expressed concerns about an empty lot overrun by these weeds, and the Gallatin County Weed District now offers property owners assessments and control strategies.
