The ASM Student Chapter at Montana State University aims to promote the community
of microbiology to graduate and undergraduate students at MSU at both the academic
and industrial capacity. We provide all students of MSU (MCB majors and non-majors)
the opportunity to present research to peers for feedback, make friends, participate
in professional development opportunities, and enjoy outreach activities related to
microbiology. Lastly, we aim to serve the Bozeman community through outreach and volunteer
activities.
