The MSUB Jacket Giving Day 2023 is a two-day online fundraising drive held starting on Thursday, March 23rd. This year, we're counting down 1,927 minutes in honor of Montana State University Billings' founding year. February 1927, we were established by the State of Montana as Eastern Montana Normal School. A year later we celebrated our first graduating class at the end of March 1928. What started as a student body of 149 students (140 women and 9 men) with a faculty of 14 has grown to a student body of 3,987 (Spring 2021) and a faculty/staff of 626 (Spring 2017).
Our fifth annual Jacket Giving Day is an opportunity for alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends from all over the world to come together to give back and make an impact on what they care about at MSU Billings. We have raised over $250,000+ since Jacket Giving Day started and every one of those dollars has made a direct impact on the student experience at Eastern Montana’s university.
