This entry includes the spring and fall editions of Mountains & Minds, Montana State University's flagship magazine. Our goal with this publication is to tell the best stories of MSU’s work related to its three-pronged mission of excellence in teaching, research, and outreach. Our collaborative team thoughtfully brings together text, visual, and design elements to tell these stories in compelling and innovative ways. We are proud to share our results with faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends, and supporters of MSU. We’ve also started delivering copies to reception areas, coffee shops, our local library, and other locations throughout Bozeman so that we can share our work with our broader community. We know from data from our university’s foundation that these stories sometimes inspire people to donate, but what we are perhaps most proud of is when we receive requests from subscribers—as we have a few times in the last year—to send copies of the magazine to their grandchildren so that they might consider enrolling at Montana State University.
From the Judges
This publication accomplished their three-pronged mission while making it interesting for a broader audience community. We enjoyed the photographs and layout elements.
