ISU Alumni and Friends Invited to Submit Nominations for 2026 Alumni Awards

Idaho State University invites alumni, donors, and friends to participate in one of its most meaningful Homecoming traditions by submitting nominations for the 2026 Alumni Awards.

Held in conjunction with Homecoming Week, October 5–10, the Alumni Awards recognize individuals who exemplify the spirit, achievement, and impact of Bengal Nation. Honorees will be celebrated at the annual Alumni Recognition Dinner on Friday, October 9, as part of the week’s festivities.

“Homecoming is a time to reconnect, celebrate, and reflect on the impact of our alumni community,” said Amy Dressel, executive director of alumni engagement. “The annual Alumni Awards provide an opportunity to honor those whose accomplishments and service continue to bring pride to Idaho State University.”

Members of the university community are encouraged to nominate alumni who have demonstrated excellence in their professions, service to their communities, and ongoing commitment to ISU.

Submitting a nomination is simple:

• Complete the online nomination form by May 17
• Provide supporting information to highlight the nominee’s impact
• Submit one form per award category

Additional details about the Alumni Recognition Dinner and the full schedule of Homecoming Week, October 5-10, events will be announced later this summer.

For now, alumni and friends are encouraged to mark their calendars and begin considering nominations that celebrate the strength and success of Bengal Nation.
