Day of Student Recognition

Over a Century of Honoring Service and Leadership at Montana State University

The Day of Student Recognition has a proud legacy at Montana State University, dating back to 1900. What began as a simple acknowledgment of student achievement has evolved into a prestigious annual awards ceremony, celebrating those who exemplify leadership, dedication, and service within the MSU and Bozeman communities.

Each year, this event highlights the outstanding contributions of students who go above and beyond to make a difference. In 2022, MSU commemorated the centennial milestone of this tradition by recognizing a record-breaking 125 students for their remarkable impact.

The 102nd Day of Student Recognition will take place on April 30, 2025, continuing this long-standing tradition of celebrating student excellence and commitment to service.
