Alongside that, you'll find updates on Montana State's undefeated Bobcats, a National Guard mountain rescue, and other regional headlines that touch Montana lives.
   

• Montana State University sets a new record, surpassing $300 million in annual research expenditures (kbzk.com) — Montana State University in Bozeman just topped $300 million in annual research spending for the first time, underscoring its growing impact on local jobs and student opportunities.
