Who We Are
Our alumni body of more than 50,000 Beavers started with just four students who earned their diplomas in June 1920: Cora Bernhard, Georgia Brown, Josephine Parker and Margaret Romens.
Two years later, the BSU Alumni & Foundation was formed on June 2, 1922, 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 become a combined board for the Bemidji State Alumni & Foundation.
