Today marks the first day of Rocky Mountain College's New Student Orientation!

The class of 2025 will be moving onto campus and getting settled into their residence halls, meeting new life-long friends, and saying farewell to their families as they embark on their newest adventure.

Welcome to Rocky Mountain College, class of 2025. We're so glad you're here!

Meet Noah Wilson, an Environmental Science major from the class of 2021. He's currently working for the Red Lodge Fire Department as part of the fuel mitigation and wild land fire crew! Noah's been working all summer to fight forest fires here in Montana.

Speaking about his time at Rocky, Noah said, "The major was great and opened a ton of job opportunities for me. I actually got interested in what I do because of Megan's seminar class where Jeff Herman from DNRC came in to talk to us!"

Have you RSVP'd to attend Homecoming? RSVP AT rocky.edu/homecoming! Come back home to Rocky and celebrate! Go bears! 🐻

On September 18th, the homecoming football game will kick-off at 1:00 PM and will include the Clara Klindt Athletic Hall of Fame inductee recognition during half time.

For alumni, homecoming can mean seeing people you haven't seen in years. This gives a chance for alumni to come back and talk to their old friends and teachers, and reconnect for the future. Homecoming is also a good way for old friends to talk about memories they have had at their school, and see how the school has changed since they have been gone. It gives alumni a chance to go back where it all started, and appreciate how far they have come.
