Montana Tech Cross Country/Track and Field 25-26
By Cross Country Track & Field
Please support Cross Country and Track and Field at Montana Tech!
Please support Cross Country and Track and Field at Montana Tech! Cross Country Track & Field Since its inception, Montana Tech’s cross country and track & field have excelled at doing things fast. Tasked in January 2020 with recruiting a men’s and women’s cross-country team that would be ready to compete by that August, the staff had their work cut out for them. They needed a roster that boasted not just good athletes but those that fit the academic profile of a rigorous and rewarding institution.  The success right out of the gate allowed for the announcement of the addition of track & field in January of 2021.   Thanks to the support of Montana Tech, the Butte community, and Oredigger Nation, we have established a program that represents Montana Tech well and is constantly raising the bar.  In five short years, we had teams and athletes who have qualified for national championships, produced 28 All-Americans, and have brought home six Frontier Conference Championships in track & field and one in cross country. Altogether the program has earned 70 individual conference champions, 4 Frontier Track Athletes of the Year and 5 Frontier Field Athletes of the Year.  The performance of our teams has exceeded expectations. To date, we have had 99 national qualifiers. With our success comes the need to raise funds. We are proud to qualify teams and athletes to compete in national meets, but this honor also presents costs not factored into the original operational budget of our program.  To continue raising the bar for our program and to continue recruiting the best and brightest athletes in Montana and beyond, we are asking for your support with a gift to the Montana Tech Cross Country and Track & Field Podium Club. Please consider donating to help us provide the best gear, facilities, travel, and scholarships to our student-athletes as we strive to be not only the best in the Frontier Conference but in the NAIA.  Gifts made to the Podium Club will allow for greater opportunity to increase the overall student athlete experience and pave the way for greater success as we maintain a championship level program and seek a NAIA National Championship.  Please consider making a gift to the Montana Tech Cross Country and Track & Field Podium Club and spread the word!

Montana Tech Men's Basketball Since the start of this decade, no Frontier Conference program has won more games or conference championships than the Montana Tech Men’s Basketball team. In fact, your Orediggers have the 5th highest winning percentage in the entire country. With your help we have had a sustained run of excellence. But make no mistake, we are far from our ceiling! Our goal remains to take this incredible program to higher heights. <strong>YOUR</strong> Orediggers have won four straight conference tournament crowns. This is the first time in Frontier Conference history a men’s basketball program has won four straight championships. An incredible accomplishment! This past season marked the first time in history a Frontier Conference team has won four regular season and four tournament titles. The Orediggers completed the regular season on a 4-game win streak finishing 24-6 overall and a 10-5 conference record. <strong>YOUR</strong> Orediggers have been in the Top 25 for the last 18 polls, the fifth-longest active streak in the NAIA, rising to as high as #5 in the country a season ago.  <strong>YOUR</strong> program needs your help as we compete for our 5th straight conference championship in a much more challenging, expanded conference. We absolutely NEED your help! The recruitment of high-achieving student-athletes is key to our program competing in four consecutive National Tournaments. We need your help to continue to be the top choice for the best basketball players in Montana and in the region. Here are a few examples of the incredible players and coaches we have recruited, developed, and retained at Montana Tech: <ul><li>Hayden Diekhans (Geraldine, MT) 2024-25 Frontier Conference Player of the Year, and Frontier Conference Defensive Player of the Year</li><li>Rhett Reynolds (Shelby, MT) University of Montana transfer, 3x 1st Team all-State</li><li>Asher Williams (Bonners Ferry, ID) 3x Idaho 4A POY, 2000-point scorer, 2x State Champion</li><li>Brayden Koch (Helena, MT) 2022 Montana Gatorade Player of the Year, State Champion</li><li>Adam Hiatt Head Coach of the Year ’24-’25 – Third straight Coach of the Year honor</li></ul> With <strong>YOUR</strong> help, we will continue to recruit and support high-character student-athletes who compete at a championship level. Our ability to attract quality non-conference opponents to Butte for early season tournaments has been instrumental in the development of our men’s basketball program. The selection process for the National Tournament is largely contingent on analytics, such as RPI and Strength of Schedule. We need to play a rigorous non-conference schedule to prepare our team for the Frontier Conference season, improve our post-season seeding, and continue to play in the National Tournament. Most importantly, with the conference doubling in size, with many new challenges awaiting, we need your help to put our players in position to be successful on these difficult road trips.<ul><li>With <strong>YOUR</strong> help we will be able to compete against enough quality teams in the non-conference to prepare us for Frontier Conference play, and ultimately, help us compete at the national level.</li><li>With <strong>YOUR</strong> help we will be able to travel to North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska to compete against new conference opponents.</li></ul> Please consider giving today to Montana Tech Men's Basketball and help us make an impact in the 2025-26 season.  Help us spread the word!

Montana Tech Food Pantry
Support Montana Technological University
Montana Tech Students Helping Montana Tech Students
Montana Tech Students Helping Montana Tech Students It can be unsettling to think that a student sitting in a college classroom is doing so on an empty stomach – not because they chose to skip breakfast or lunch, but because they simply didn’t have enough food to eat. But this is the reality for many college students, and the problem has been getting worse in recent years. As recent as Spring 2020 a poll reflected that 40% of Montana Tech students have some sort of food insecurity. Conceived as an idea by the Associated Students of Montana Tech the purpose of the <em><strong>Montana Tech Food Pantry</strong></em> is to support Montana Tech students facing food insecurity. The food pantry helps relieve the stress of students and of the Butte Food Bank. The <em><strong>Montana Tech Food Pantry</strong></em> is anonymous, and the students are able to take products as they need them.  The <em><strong>Montana Tech Food Pantry</strong></em> opened in November of 2020. It  is centrally located on campus in the Student Union Building and is easily accessible for students. Orediggers are there for each other and we think that the <em><strong>Montana Tech Food Pantry</strong></em> is an example of this in action. Please consider making a gift to the <em><strong>Montana Tech Food Pantry </strong></em>to help maintain this resource for Montana Tech students<em><strong>.</strong></em>  Thank you for your support and please help us spread the word!

The Butte Endowed Scholarship
Support Montana Technological University
Our goal is to raise scholarship funds to put more of Butte's students on the path to a college degree and a bright future for them and our community.
Our goal is to raise scholarship funds to put more of Butte's students on the path to a college degree and a bright future for them and our community. Montana Tech Montana Tech has a special obligation to the youth of Butte. It's our goal to put more of the city's sons and daughters on the path to a college degree and a bright future. Many of these young men and women will be the the first in their families to attend college. We want to give them the chance to <strong>BE THE FIRST!</strong> They have what it takes to succeed, mirroring the qualities that make Butte itself such a special place: strong family values, a tireless work ethic, a purposeful, goal-oriented outlook and a knack for getting things done.   In 2017 the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, in conjunction with Montana Resources, made a $597,000 gift to Montana Tech to create the Montana Resources Opportunity Scholarship for students who graduate from high schools in Butte. This gift has provided more opportunities for Butte students to pursue their education by funding three full-ride scholarships for graduates of high schools in Butte to seek any four-year degree at Montana Tech. When Rolin Erickson retired as President of Montana Resources, and as a testament to his impact and career the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation renewed their commitment to first-generation students and created the Rolin Erickson Montana Resources Opportunity Scholarship to benefit first generation college students from Butte. We want to continue this momentum with the Butte Endowed Scholarship and help advance Butte students and our community at large. Raising funds for the Butte Endowed Scholarship will allow Montana Tech to expand local recruitment efforts and raise our profile as a first choice university. It will also provide scholarships for students who otherwise may not be able to afford to attend college. Students selected to receive the Butte Endowed Scholarship will be awarded a full scholarship to allow them to focus on their education.   Our ultimate goal is to establish a $2.5 million endowment that will positively impact students in Butte for years to come. We are grateful for several leadership gifts that have put us on the path to that goal and want to share the opportunity for you to become involved and invest in the youth of our community.    You can be certain that an investment in the Butte Endowed Scholarship is an investment in the city's youth today and for generations to come.

Support Oredigger Hockey! <p>Support the Montana Tech Hockey Club!</p> The previous iteration of the Montana Tech Digger hockey club was formed for the 2011-2012 hockey season, and saw immediate success on and off the ice, showing fierce competition on the ice, and academic success and community engagement off-ice.  In 2013, the team soon joined the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 2, in newly minted Mountain West Collegiate Hockey League.  The team was pitted against teams from Utah, including Weber State, Utah State and Brigham Young, local competitors such as Montana State University, and teams from Idaho (Boise State) and Denver. In that inaugural season, Montana Tech finished in 2nd place, behind Weber State.   In this same season, 2 players from Montana Tech were chosen to participate in the ACHA National All-Star Challenge – one of those players, Conrad Smith, also represented the ACHA Division 2 Select team, traveling to Europe to play several Pro teams and European University All-Star teams. In the 2013-2014 season, the Montana Tech Diggers were ranked the number 1 hockey team in Montana by <em>The Hockey News</em>, a list that contained many professional teams – a major accomplishment and sign of recognition that the put the team, and Montana Tech on the hockey map in the US club hockey world. In the following 2014-2015 season, the team continued to impress, defeating the number one Mountain West Division ASU Sun Devils in tournament play, which aided in securing a spot at the team’s first ever regional tournament, after finishing 5th in the division. The same year, the Montana Tech Digger Hockey club had 7 players selected to represent the Mountain West division at the National All-Star Challenge in West Chester Pennsylvania – making Montana Tech the highest represented school on the team. Douglas “Dunk” Abbott – The second Montana Tech player in team history to achieve this recognition. In 2017, the Montana Tech Diggers Hockey Club once again represented at the ACHA National All-Star Tournament in Philadelphia, sending 2 players to the tournament. The Montana Tech Diggers Hockey Club remained active on and off the ice, Joining Montana Tech and KXLF to award “One Class at a Time” Grants. The team remained active on campus as well, participating in club-rush events, fundraisers, and homecoming week. Unfortunately, due to injuries and lower player-count in the 2018-2019 season, the team had to cancel their remaining games to finish out the season.  Low player turnover in the 2019-2020 season, coupled with the COVID 19 pandemic, the Digger Hockey team went dormant. We are now looking to revive our great academic and athletic Digger Hockey club and are already hitting the ice to get back to form! For the 2023-2024 season, we are unaffiliated with any league – however, with enough support, we hope to rejoin the ACHA in the 2024 – 2025 season. We hope you will consider making a gift to the Montana Tech Hockey Club today. Please help us spread the word!

Continuing a legacy of supporting Butte students with the Kevin and Joan Shannon Scholarship. Montana Tech Butte has a long tradition of taking care of their own, and Kevin and Joan Shannon are true examples of that spirit. In 1986, Kevin started the Montana Tech Scholarship Club, now the Kevin and Joan Shannon Scholarship to offer Butte students a little extra help to attend Montana Tech. Kevin would visit local businesses in Butte and ask if they would be willing to chip in $5, or more if they were able, to contribute to the scholarship.    From those humble beginnings, over the last 35 years, the Kevin and Joan Shannon Scholarship has awarded nearly $200,000 to over 400 Butte High and Butte Central students attending Montana Tech.  Kevin believed in the importance of education and the impact it can have on our local community and economy. Today we are reaching out to ask you to continue the legacy Kevin started.  We are asking you to give what you can and make an investment in Butte students and their future.

Max Bullock Endowed Memorial Scholarship </p> The <em><strong>Lieutenant R. Max Bullock Endowed Memorial Scholarship</strong></em> is established in memory or Lt. Max Bullock [call sign Kuato], a naval aviator who lost his life flying his FA-18 Super Hornet in support of peacekeeping.  Max was born in Butte, Montana to Montana Tech graduates Bill and Robin (Thornell) Bullock. Max was generous and spent his early life helping his family build the Jeremy Bullock Soccer Fields in Butte, as a tribute to his older brother who was lost in a school shooting. Max was passionate and relentlessly positive. He would dream of ideas that seemed unimaginable to most people and would shock them when he presented a step-by-step solution to achieving them. He joined the Navy- as a pilot- to fly the world’s most advanced aircraft - to become an astronaut- to get to space- to mine asteroids.   His belief in himself was only matched by his belief in the goodness and ability of others. In every action and conversation, he conveyed that there are no limits on potential and possibility.  This scholarship is intended to not only continue his desire to help others, but for our team of mentors to aid in helping the scholarship awardees the ability to succeed in making a positive impact in our world. We request US active military, veterans and Gold Star family members to apply for this award. Max's family asks for a 200-word paragraph on what you would like to do with your education to improve the campus, Butte and/or the world around you. This award can be received either in the 2nd year at Highlands, or the sophomore and/or junior year at Montana Tech.  This scholarship may be awarded twice to the same recipient. Consider making a gift today to the <em><strong>Lieutenant R. Max Bullock Endowed Memorial Scholarship</strong></em><strong> </strong>in honor of Max's memory and to support US active military, veterans and Gold Star family members attending Montana Tech.  Thank you for your support and please help us spread the word!

The Tetra Tech Geological Field Camp Annual Scholarship allows students to gain the real-world skills essential to careers in geoscience. <p>Join Tetra Tech and support Montana Tech students as they participate in Geological Field Camp, a hands-on, immersive experience where classroom learning comes to life in the field.</p> At Montana Tech, learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom, it happens in the field. Each summer, students in our Geological Field Camp step into the landscapes they’ve studied, applying their knowledge in real-world environments. From mapping rock formations to analyzing geologic structures, this immersive experience is a defining moment in their education and a critical step toward careers in geology, mining, and environmental science. Now, with the support of Tetra Tech, we are creating new opportunities for students to access this transformative experience. Field camp is more than a course; it’s a capstone experience. Students spend weeks outdoors developing practical skills that employers value most:<ul><li>Geologic mapping and data collection</li><li>Field-based problem solving</li><li>Team collaboration in real conditions</li><li>Application of classroom theory to complex environments</li></ul> Experiences like this prepare students to step confidently into careers tackling real-world challenges—from resource development to environmental stewardship. And that’s exactly where Tetra Tech’s mission aligns. As a global leader in environmental and engineering consulting, Tetra Tech works to protect natural resources, restore ecosystems, and design sustainable infrastructure solutions. The Tetra Tech Geological Field Camp Annual Scholarship helps ensure the next generation is ready to carry that work forward. While field camp is essential, it can also be a financial hurdle. Costs associated with tuition, travel, equipment, and extended time in the field can put this experience out of reach for some students. Your support can change that. The Tetra Tech Geological Field Camp Scholarship will:<ul><li>Provide direct financial support to students enrolled in field camp</li><li>Reduce barriers to participation</li><li>Expand access to hands-on, career-defining experiences</li><li>Strengthen Montana Tech’s pipeline of highly trained geoscience professionals</li></ul> When you give, you’re not just supporting a student—you’re investing in the future of:<ul><li>Sustainable resource development</li><li>Environmental protection and restoration</li><li>Responsible land and water management</li></ul> You’re helping students gain the experience needed to solve complex challenges facing communities across Montana and around the world. Help send a student to the field. Your gift, of any size, directly supports students as they take the next step in their education and careers.
