Annual College of Business Scholarship Banquet: 2008
More than 152 scholarships and awards for students majoring in business options at Montana State University College of Business were given in the spring for the 2008-2009 academic school year. The scholarships, announced Monday, March 31st at the College's annual scholarship banquet, were provided through endowments and funds set up to specifically grant financial aid to students enrolled in the MSU College of Business. About 350 people, including family and friends, were in attendance.
Rick Reisig ('82), director of audit for Hamilton Misfeldt & Company, P.C., was the banquet's keynote speaker. He delivered an entertaining and lively presentation that drew many chuckles from the audience.
Reisig is a major supporter of the College of Business and is very active in the community. He has served on the MSU College of Business Advisory Council, and presently is a member of the MSU Accounting Advisory Council. He also serves as the Treasurer for the MSU Alumni Board of Directors, and is a non-voting member of the MSU Foundation Board of Directors. He also serves as a committee person on the "Bringing the U to You" lecture series, a Great Falls committee consisting of MSU and UM alumni.
