Can the Griz is more than a rivalry. It's a Montana tradition that brings our community together to fight food insecurity. 🐾🥫
Last year, Can the Griz generated over $1 million in food and monetary donations to support the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and MSU's Bounty of the Bridgers Food Pantry.
We're inviting local businesses and organizations to join this year's effort as a Can the Griz sponsor. Sponsorship is an opportunity to invest in students and our community while engaging your team in meaningful service, strengthening workplace culture, and being part of one of Montana's most impactful philanthropic initiatives.
Swipe to learn about sponsorship levels, benefits, and how your organization can get involved.
Committed to becoming a sponsor? Email wyatt.hagen@montana.edu before October 9th to join the cause!

Cyrus Walker’s take on western art is unique, at times whimsical, irreverent and leaning toward the surreal, so I was thrilled to see my article on this Montana State University grad on the cover of the new issue of The Collegian.
Cyrus employs western iconography — horses, cowboys, masked men, arid, wide open landscapes — then juxtaposes them with unexpected settings, or places them in puzzling situations. In Walker’s world, ranch animals appear in furnished rooms and figures levitate. His use of color upends tradition as well. A horse might be green, a sky deep yellow shot through with purple cloud streaks.
His works are rendered in an unabashedly Pop Art style (he was originally influenced by artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Bill Schenck and Fritz Scholder), which has allowed him to stake out his own singular territory within the field of contemporary western art.
“I start with a feeling I want to express,” he says. “I want to visually talk about where people create space, where conversations happen and where connections are made between individuals…
“I will take liberties in the western genre as I pick vessels for human connection and incorporate imagery into that, because in my mind, the western genre is liquid and mobile. It really lends itself to creativity.”

We have more than 50 reasons to cheer for the MSU Bobcats! 💙💛

Across all six of our offices, Montana State University grads put their creativity to work at A&E + SMA Design. These alumni shape spaces and communities under the big sky and beyond.
A big part of our story is told in blue and gold, and it’s far from over. Through many campus improvement projects, teaching, and mentoring, we continue to invest in what comes next for our alma mater.

The A&E + SMA Design Scholarship supports students in MSU’s School of Architecture as they develop their ideas, sharpen their skills, and grow as designers. Through this endowment, we hope to encourage bold thinking, thoughtful design, and the confidence to share ideas that strengthen our state.

We’re proud of the Bobcats on our crew and excited for the future architects following in their footsteps. 🎓
Go Cats Go!

Matt Caires has been Montana State's Dean of Students for 16 years and he gushed about how the football team behaves. Bobcat student-athletes averaged a 3.46 GPA last spring!

Joe Borden and Flint Rasmussen are live from the Rocking R Bar in Bozeman for Homecoming week, previewing Montana State's Big Sky opener against Northern Arizona.

Watch it here: https://www.explorebigsky.com/episodes/bbs203

Caires on MSU’s record enrollment of 17,470 and life as a real-life Dean Wormer.

MSU’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Pete Heim on his journey coming to Bozeman from Alabama, Duke, Tennessee and Arkansas. Plus the completed Bobcat Stadium feasibility study, alcohol sales, and why he says Montana State is "a wanted entity" nationally.

ASMSU President Ben Wilson and Vice President Josey Blazer on the Homecoming parade, a million-dollar student budget, and throwing a Rail Jam with no rails.

First Security Bank president and CEO Kalli Ryti and marketing director Tyler Wheeler join the picks — Griz at UC Davis, Oregon at USC, and NAU at Montana State.

Plus Champ gets decorated like a homecoming float, Put the Hat on the Cat gets two contestants in Griz colors, and the Chug of Shame.

Bobcat Big Show is live at the Rocking R every Thursday before a home game, 6 to 7. Back October 22 before Weber State.
