Join us in Arizona!

Join Bemidji State alumni and friends in the Valley of the Sun as we formally introduce our brand new Arizona Network!

Our annual alumni and friends gathering in Arizona is a special one this year, as it features a launch party for the new Alumni Networks program (formerly known as Alumni Chapters).

The festivities are open to all Beavers, whether you were first in line to sign up for the network or are interested in attending just to learn more about the program. The events include an alumni social from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 11, in Sun City West, and then an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game at 5:10 p.m. on Sunday, April 12, in Phoenix.

The alumni social is free to attend for all. Tickets for the D-backs game are free for registered members of the Arizona Network and include an unlimited buffet of ballpark fare food and Pepsi products. Ticket prices are $68 for non-registered members and still come with all-you-can-eat food and drink.

The deadline to register is March 27, so sign up today.
