Why is it Important to Vote?

While it may seem easy to blow off ASUM they hold a lot of power on campus. They decide how to fund student groups, the rate of fees, and they have had a big hand in the New Student Conduct Code. It is important to make sure you have your voice heard in all of these major decisions.

Want to Get Involved?

Another great way to make sure your voice is heard is to grab a seat and pull it up to the table. You can always sign-up through the ASUM Website to be a Student at Large on an ASUM committee. It is important to make sure the University of Montana is the best for our current students and students to come.
