Nick Willett
Associate Justice
Hello Bobcats! My name is Nicholas Willett, and I am a 24 y/o sophomore studying Mechanical
Engineering Technology. I am a non-traditional student; after high school in Billings,
I obtained my EMT license and started working as a Firefighter EMT. After this
chapter in my life, I wanted to start college, so I worked night shifts as an anesthesia
tech at a trauma center, and during the day I attended MSU Billings. After hearing
of programs and opportunities at MSU I decided to transfer to Bozeman and enroll
as a full time student. I am now involved in AFROTC, BOREALIS (which is a platform
for performing experiments in the upper stratosphere), and I am also an officer in
The Society of Physics Students. Outside of school, you can find me cheering the
loudest at Bobcat sporting events. I believe that advocation is important and a strong
student body starts with strong leadership. I am incredibly proud to represent my
fellow Bobcats! Reach out and swing by SUB 221!
