50th Anniversary Celebration
Our Occupational Safety and Health program at Montana Tech is turning 50 years old! Please plan to join generations of alumni, as well as former and current faculty, as we celebrate 50 years of health and safety education at Montana Tech while looking forward to the next 50.
Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for an educational workshop on Tech's campus (from 11:00 AM to 4:15 PM) followed by a catered dinner and gala at the Butte Copper King hotel (from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM) on Thursday, October 2, 2025.
On Friday and Saturday, October 3rd and 4th, 2025, our celebration will continue in conjunction with Tech's homecoming festivities. Activities include a department Advisory Board meeting, lab tours, and a tailgate prior to Saturday's football game.
Please find registration information below. The 50th Anniversary Registration includes all events, or if your schedule does not permit the full celebration, activities are available to select a la carte. We look forward to seeing you there!
