Ronan student among four UM Homecoming ambassadors

Four outstanding students brimming with Griz spirit recently were named University of Montana Homecoming ambassadors.

The Griz-hearted student ambassadors are Shelby Fisher of Ronan; Lane Arthur of Custer, South Dakota; Siena Cysewski of Kirkland, Washington;; and Isabelle Melton of Helena.

Homecoming 2021 features events all week, culminating with the Griz football game Saturday, Sept. 25, in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The Griz are taking on the Cal Poly Mustangs. The theme this year is “Heart of the Grizzly.”

Years ago, the ambassadors replaced traditional Homecoming royalty at UM. They are selected by the UM Alumni Association and will be recognized at the Homecoming football game and represent UM at 2021-22 alumni events. The ambassadors were selected based on their enthusiasm and engagement with campus, as well as their academic standing and having completed at least three academic semesters.

“I am proud to be a resilient, community-oriented student at the University of Montana,” said Fisher, who majors in history and political science. “Not all paths to success are smooth, but with the right community and courage, you can always reach your goals. I hope to instill in my community these values, especially through this difficult time. I hope to inspire others to continue their fight, as I have chosen to do.”
