Schneider Earns Student Excellence Award

Multiple nominations brought Wade Schneider to the attention of the Student Excellence Award selection committee. Wade is pursuing an associate of applied science degree in plumbing and a certificate of applied science in welding.

Wade has worked hard to be an active participant in the college experience at Northern-both in and out of the classroom. His commitment to the classroom has resulted in a 4.0 g.p.a. Outside the classroom, he has been a member of Collegiate Stockgrowers Association (serving as secretary), and helped to rebuild fence that was burned in an area affected by the Lodgepole Complex fire. For their efforts, the club received recognition as "Volunteers of the Game."

He is currently serving as a resident assistant in Morgan Hall where he has performed exemplary work with the men of Morgan 700. A sports enthusiast, Wade volunteered many hours to Northern's intramural program running volleyball, dodgeball, and basketball. He has also volunteered to help with events like the MSU-Northern Alumni Auction, Cowboy Christmas, Teknoxpo, SkillsUSA and Campus Cleanup.

Most recently, he was awarded the Mike Rowe Work Ethic Scholarship.

After graduation, Wade plans to get a job with a plumbing company in Montana who actively supports the program here at Northern.
