About "An Opportuni-Tea"
The 13th Annual An Opportuni-Tea is scheduled for Saturday, April 1, 2023 from noon - 2:30 p.m. Doors open at 11:30 a.m.
This event builds funding for the University Honors Program at Idaho State University. Donations directly impact student success by supporting student scholarships, student research, additional UHP programming, seminars, and courses. In essence, funds raised by An Opportuni-Tea provide additional opportunities for high-achieving ISU students.
The event will feature a delicious afternoon tea complete with savories, scones, sweets, and mimosas. Entertainment and activities at the event include performances by current Honors students, a silent auction featuring work by students in the University Honors Program, an "Owl Tree" with opportunities to sponsor mini-scholarships that target specific students' needs, and more.
Don't miss your opportunity to participate in this special occasion with us! Consider sponsoring a table for An Opportuni-Tea. Sponsors are able to choose their level of sponsorship and table location. Your name, department, college, or company will be included on the event program and posters, and your table will identify you as a supporter for our Honors student's education and Idaho's future. Tables are set for eight which allows adequate room for guests, tableware, and decorations. Half table purchases are also available.
The funds raised by the An Opportuni-Tea event benefit our truly amazing ISU Honors Students.
Idaho State University Honors students are an amazing, hardworking group of people. In addition to their education at ISU, these students participate in leadership, mentoring, and volunteer positions. Many Honors students participate in the tea each year; brewing and serving tea, running the silent auction table, setting and cleaning up the event, and sharing their experiences as ISU Honors students with those who attend the tea.
