Mission statement

The goal of Civic & Community Engagement is to promote meaningful and impactful partnerships for students, staff, and faculty within the wider Billings community. We aim to achieve this by developing initiatives that foster civic pride, stewardship, and sustainability. 

Community Engagement works closely with a diverse range of organizations. As a result, we can match you with an engagement opportunity that suits your needs and goals. Come and be part of the community-driven social change happening at Montana State University Billings. 

Without the support of our communities, no institution of higher education can thrive.
