Who We Are
Our alumni body of more than 50,000 Beavers started with just four students who earned their diplomas in June 1920.
Two years later, the BSU Alumni & Foundation was formed at Sanford Hall in conjunction with that year's graduation. Then an all-female body, it was first called the Bemidji State Teachers College Alumnae Association before being renamed to the Alumni Association in 1927. The BSU Foundation was founded in 1969 as a separate, nonprofit entity. In 2016, the separate Alumni Association board and the BSU Foundation board merged to establish the Bemidji State Alumni & Foundation.
