Nine Montana State University students have partnered with local nonprofit organizations as part of the Boardroom Bobcats, the MSU Leadership Institute’s experiential learning program.
Students selected regularly attend board meetings and develop a mentoring relationship with board members of their nonprofit. The MSU Leadership Institute hosts leadership development trainings to help students maximize their experience.
Created and developed by Carmen McSpadden, MSU Leadership Institute director and staff, Boardroom Bobcats was launched in 2016 with the support from a $5,000 seed grant from MSU’s Outreach and Engagement Council.
Caitlin Holzer, student coordinator of the program this semester, said the group is composed of top-notch students and leaders with a dedication to service and community involvement. In a reciprocal partnership, nonprofits gain insights and fresh perspectives from MSU students while training them to become future board leaders, she said. Students gain practical boardroom experience, familiarity with the nonprofit sector, mentee opportunities and lifelong leadership skills.
“MSU students are adding value to their nonprofits and the Bozeman community right out of the gate, and I am excited to see their unique strengths evolve and continue to make an impact,” she said.

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
