SEPTEMBER 2019
Dear Friend,
In less than two weeks, we will celebrate Idaho State’s Homecoming . It is an opportunity to come together as a Bengal community and celebrate our great University. Last week, I was once again reminded what it means to be a Bengal and why this is such a great place. Many of you stepped up to help us “Raise the ROAR” during our annual I Love ISU campaign. With the support of hundreds of generous Bengals, we raised $423,210 in less than 36 hours. All of the money raised will go to support our students, and I can promise you that it will certainly change lives. 

I am very excited to welcome our alumni back to campus for Homecoming. I love hearing about your experiences at Idaho State. Alumni taking time out of their busy lives and traveling back to campus demonstrates the impact that a college experience can have on a person. 

This is what we are striving to foster at Idaho State, an experience that has a lifelong impact on our students. If we are successful with the students we have on our campus now, they will return to our campus for years to come, to cheer us on, to be advocates of the University, and to give back to future generations.

Thanks for being part of our history and our future.

Roar, Bengals, Roar! 

–Kevin
