Tyler Vogel
CATalyst Success Peer Mentor
Hi there! My name is Tyler and I am a senior here at MSU. I am studying Mechanical Engineering Technology with a German Studies double major. During my time here at MSU, I have been involved with Hall Council and was an RA for a year. On top of being a CATalyst mentor, I am the treasurer for German Club and a SmartyCats tutor for German. In my free time I like to ski, play guitar, play video games, and watch movies. I hope I can be a great resource for you to find success while at MSU!
Talia Steel
CATalyst Success Peer Mentor
Hello! My name is Talia Steel and I am a junior studying political science and anthropology. I am originally from Sheridan, Wyoming and I love living close to the mountains. I try to spend as much time exploring the outdoors as I can. Some of my hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, camping, cooking, and spending time with friends! One of the most important skills that I have learned in college is how to manage my time so that I can be successful while still enjoying all that Bozeman has to offer. Along with being a CATalyst mentor, I also tutor philosophy, anthropology, and political science classes. I am undecided as to what I will do after graduation (which is okay!) and I am so grateful for all of the planning and advising resources that MSU offers. I am looking forward to being a resource for helping students to be successful on campus!

Hey my name is David Castillo and I'm a sophomore majoring in psychology with a plan to get a master's degree in speech pathology! I'm also a Hillman scholar here and the support and networking that I have received from the program is something I would want every student to have here. I am from Polson Montana and the lake and river there are beautiful in the summer so I love going on hikes and exploring new places.
