The Bemidji State University Alumni & Foundation is proud to share the Summer 2026 edition of the Bemidji State Alumni Magazine, which is available online now.

This issue takes readers back to a transformative decade at Bemidji State — when freshman beanies, bell-bottoms, disco, and the Beaver Pond were all a central part of campus life. But this isn’t just a trip down memory lane. We highlight an incredible assortment of alumni and accomplishments, like Beaver Football celebrating 100 seasons, three generations carrying on a musical legacy, and new investments creating opportunities for the next generation.
These stories reveal something timeless: that the people and traditions making Bemidji State special have a way of carrying forward.
Inside, you’ll find stories of grit, connection, generosity, and the unexpected paths a BSU education can inspire — along with a soundtrack to the ’70s, a little campus history, and plenty of reasons to take pride in your alma mater.
The Bemidji State Alumni Magazine is proudly produced by the BSU Alumni & Foundation. It is published twice per year and distributed free of charge to select BSU alumni and friends. Free copies can also be obtained by visiting the David Park House (limit two per person; while supplies last). Please direct editorial comments to Micah Friez at micah.friez@bemidjistate.edu.
