“It’s critical we provide the next generation with the best education possible,” said Rehberg, a member of the House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee.  “Montana Tech plays a vital role in developing the technology behind Montana’s mining and energy industries as well as helping to strengthen America’s military infrastructure.  I’m glad I’ll have a seat at the table in getting their priorities funded.”

During the meeting, Chancellor Gilmore informed Rehberg of several current Montana Tech projects in need of funding, such as exploring ways to make the U.S. power grid more reliable and efficient and developing lighter and more durable combat materials for our nation’s military. 

 “We’re very appreciative of Congressman Rehberg taking the time to meet with us,” said Chancellor Gilmore.  “It’s clear he has a good grasp of the importance of the research we’re doing at Montana Tech.”
