Halle is an amazing student who has taken the initiative to engage and connect to MSU Billings and the community, as well encourage other students to make a difference.

Personal Statement
During my time at MSUB, I have been fortunate to take advantage of several impactful and moving experiences within my community. I have enjoyed my time serving as a student senator in the ASMSUB Student Government, participating in movements such as lobbying the Montana State Legislature on behalf of higher education.
I have been able to act as the Service Project Coordinator for MSUB's Office for Community Involvement, planning projects such as Service Saturdays and Campus food drives. Part of my work in the OCI has been to help maintain the Yellowjacket Emergency Pantry which is committed to eliminating food insecurity on campus. I have also had the privilege of working as an Orientation Peer Leader on campus, helping new students adjust to college life and find their own passions and inspirations. Overall, I am extremely grateful for the opportunities that have been afforded to me and I am excited to continue working to move us forward as a campus. For me, there is no greater obligation than endeavoring to better one's community, nor is there a task that yields a greater reward.
