Emma Forster

Chief Justice 

Hey y'all! My name is Emma Forster, and I am from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This is my 3rd year at MSU as a Geography major, and I hope to pursue Environmental Law after graduation. In addition to being on the ASMSU Supreme Court, I am the MSU Campus Organizer for Forward Montana. Outside of work and class, you’ll probably find me hiking, thrifting, spinning a record or rewatching one of my many comfort shows. I believe strongly that leadership begins with empathy and that we must ensure ASMSU policies represent all voices on campus — so if you have any concerns or just want to chat, stop by SUB 221! Go Cats!

Bio: Hey Bobcats! My name is Brooklynn Haab, and I’m a freshman Honors student majoring in Microbiology. I’m passionate about medicine, research, and making a positive impact on campus.

Nick Willett

Associate Justice

Hello Bobcats! My name is Nicholas Willett, and I am a 24 y/o sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering Technology. I am a non-traditional student; after high school in  Billings, I obtained my EMT license and started working as a Firefighter EMT. After this 
chapter in my life, I wanted to start college, so I worked night shifts as an anesthesia tech at a trauma center, and during the day I attended MSU Billings. After hearing of programs and  opportunities at MSU I decided to transfer to Bozeman and enroll as a full time student. I  am now involved in AFROTC, BOREALIS (which is a platform for performing experiments in  the upper stratosphere), and I am also an officer in The Society of Physics Students.  Outside of school, you can find me cheering the loudest at Bobcat sporting events. I believe that advocation is important and a strong student body starts with strong leadership. I am incredibly proud to represent my fellow Bobcats! Reach out and swing by SUB 221!

Caleb Szajkowski

Associate Justice

Hello everyone! My name is Caleb Szajkowski, I’m a freshman here at MSU studying Political Science, History, and French. I hope to pursue Law School, either with a focus on international law or immigration law. I am passionate about student engagement here on campus, and that’s what attracted me to the ASMSU Supreme Court. When I’m not working with MontPIRG, Campus Civil Rights, studying, or the court, you can find me in Cooper Park with a book or climbing! Ultimately, I believe that real change begins with real involvement, and that each and every student brings valuable and integral perspectives to the conversation surrounding politics,  our community, and our campus.
