01. Our Shared Impact
At Idaho State University, the Bengal experience is shaped by more than classrooms, programs, and campus spaces. It's shaped by the people who bring them to life.
Every day, faculty and staff across ISU create meaningful experiences that help students discover opportunities, build confidence, and find their place in our Bengal community. From a prospective student's first visit to the relationships that support them through graduation, these connections make a lasting difference.
It takes a campus to make ISU a place students want to be—and a place they want to stay.
Together, we can build on the incredible work already happening across our university by creating more opportunities to welcome future Bengals, celebrate our students, and showcase what makes Idaho State special.
Three Pillars for Success
SHOW UP.
Be part of the moments that matter.
From recruitment events to campus celebrations, your presence helps students and families experience the people, programs, and opportunities that make ISU special. Whether you're representing your department, sharing your expertise, or celebrating student accomplishments, being there makes a difference.
ENGAGE.
Turn everyday interactions into meaningful experiences.
A conversation, a shared passion, or a simple offer to help can leave a lasting impression. Your knowledge, perspective, and enthusiasm help students see the possibilities waiting for them at Idaho State.
CONNECT.
Help every Bengal find their place.
A sense of belonging is built through relationships. By creating opportunities for students to connect with our campus community, we help them feel welcomed, supported, and confident in their decision to become—and remain—a Bengal.
02. Make a Difference Through Campus Visits
For many prospective students, a campus visit is the moment ISU begins to feel like home. Connecting with faculty, exploring academic spaces, and discovering opportunities within their chosen program can make all the difference.
We invite faculty and staff who support academic units to help bring these experiences to life by welcoming students into their departments, sharing their expertise, or offering facility tours. The academic experience is consistently noted as the most impactful part of a campus visit.
You set your availability, and our Campus Visit team handles the coordination!
