Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

More than 1,000 students across Montana are following the 2012 Mount Everest Expedition, sponsored by The North Face and National Geographic, which involves Montana State University geologist David Lageson, MSU student Travis Corthouts and The North Face global team athlete Conrad Anker, who is from Bozeman. An MSU alumnus, Kris Erickson, is also part of the expedition team.

The MSU Leadership Institute http://www.montana.edu/leadership/ is supporting Corthouts’ travel, so he can send updates and photos back to classrooms.
