Founded in May of 1906, ASUM serves as a forum for students to express their needs to The University of Montana administration as well as to the Montana state government. From 1936-1965, the organization was known as the Associated Students of Montana State University (ASMSU) reflecting the name change of the university. In its early years ASUM operated a general store and the university bookstore; today one of its primary functions is the allocation of money to student groups through yearly student group requests and a once a year budgeting process.
