Alumni Association and Foundations

Alumni Association

The goals of the Idaho State University Alumni Association are based on the principle of service to the university and to the people of the state of Idaho. Founded in 1901, the association is governed by a board of directors and administered through the Office of Alumni Relations, located at 554 South Seventh, Pocatello, in the Magnuson Alumni House. Specific objectives are to foster, cultivate and maintain a unified alumni association representative of the best traditions of the institution; to generate general concern and interest in the needs of Idaho State University; to encourage its support by a composite of all groups in its history; and to further a constructive program of progress in all aspects of the university.

The officers and directors meet three times each year with the director of alumni relations, who is appointed by the university administration.

An annual minimum contribution of $25 is required to maintain active alumni status.
