The Bemidji State University Athletic Hall of Fame Weekend, originally scheduled for October 29-30, has been postponed to January 2022 due to the rise in COVID-19 cases within Beltrami Country and the surrounding area.
In an effort to protect the health and safety of honorees, alumni and their guests, BSU Athletic Hall of Fame Weekend is now scheduled for January 21-22, 2022. The induction ceremony and banquet will take place on January 22 at a time and location to-be-determined.
Announcements regarding alumni reunions and other events will be posted online at bsualumni.org/AHOF as details become available. Beavers Athletics schedules can be found at bsubeavers.com
The move to postpone the event is consistent with recent decisions of other Minnesota State system universities, many of whom have rescheduled or drastically altered large gatherings to slow the spread of COVID-19 in their communities.
The BSU Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes alumni, former coaches, administrators and others who have excelled and brought acclaim to the university through their accomplishments. Eight individuals and one outstanding team will be inducted at the event.
