The community in SUB 221 is so excited to help MSU students make change on campus and execute their visions. If that's something you're passionate about then come see us so we can help! This year the Supreme Court is working to increase transparency, document procedures, and ensure greater equality in our governing documents. Outside of the office I love hiking, crocheting, reading, and eating pasta. If you're at all interested in getting involved, stop by, and we can find the place for you. 🙂

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!
