You are cordially invited: Join us at the 2025 Honors Gala!
Registration is now open for this fall's event, meaning you can reserve your seats today for one of the Alumni & Foundation's premier events for alumni and friends.
The gala will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, in the Sanford Center ballroom. BSU will honor its newest class of distinguished alumni, plus other donors and friends, and celebrate the latest happenings at Bemidji State as part of its annual Homecoming festivities. This year's theme will be "For the North" in conjunction with the new targeted-initiative campaign happening now.
Tickets are $100 per adult and $15 for children 12 and under. Community members are also invited to purchase a seat for a current BSU student for $50. To register now, visit bsualumni.org/events/gala or click the button below.
Dr. Kenneth Anderson ‘03, Dr. Christine Imbra ‘80 and Tuleah Palmer ‘00 will all be presented with the Outstanding Alumni Award, while Dr. Michael Herbert will be recognized with the Alumni Service Award. The BSU Alumni & Foundation will also present a Philanthropist of the Year award, with this year's honoree to be revealed at a later date.
Of course, Bemidji State will also recognize many of its donors, including President's Society donors and new Legacy Society members.
