Record number of American Indian engineering graduates powered by new Montana State University support program

Sydney Resel will walk alone across the podium to receive her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, but she says she could not have gotten there by herself.

"Something I learned is that you need people with you in life, especially in engineering," said Resel, who originally came to Montana State University as a film major but switched to engineering because she wanted a degree that would allow her to find a good job in Montana.

"From the beginning, (engineering) was really challenging and I didn’t know if I could do it," said Resel, who grew up in Bozeman and is affiliated with the Little Shell Chippewa tribe. "I always suspected I might fail, but I took it a step at a time and found I didn’t fail."
