Replant Our Roots Project

The University in the Pines suffered major damage following the June 2025 storm that came through Bemidji State University and the Bemidji community. Now, we're focused on replanting campus to ensure that future generations can have that trademark experience of learning in the beautiful North Woods.

Celebrate 50 Years of Environmental Studies

In 1974, Bemidji State University planted the seeds for something extraordinary: our hallmark Environmental Studies program. Generations of students have studied the ecosystems of our North Woods, the waters of our lakes, and the communities that depend on them — emerging as scientists, educators, advocates, and leaders in every corner of the globe. Now you can donate to be a part of the program's next chapter.

Support Bucky's Cupboard

Bucky’s Cupboard Student Food Pantry is in critical need of resources. We need our campus community’s help in funding this food shelf for the next five years which would take $30,000 to do.
