Idaho State University Alumni & Friends

We are dedicated to fostering lifelong relationships with our 85,000+ alumni, students, their families, and our devoted communities!🧡 Magnuson Alumni House.

We hope this site will help you reconnect and stay connected with your alma mater. The ISU Alumni Association exists to provide a lifelong two-way connection between alumni and their university. It acts as the guardian of tradition, keeps members informed about their alma mater and their fellow alumni, provides opportunities for alumni to get together in social and educational settings, and promotes the needs of the university and its students. Every current and former ISU student who has accumulated at least 24 credits has FREE membership in the Alumni Association. Founded in 1906, the Alumni Association is governed by a board of directors that meets three times a year. Day-to-day operations are handled by a full-time staff of five at the Office of Alumni Relations located in the H.F.

“You can’t make money playing video games.”

That’s what Tim May remembers his parents telling him growing up.

Today, Tim, President of Direct Communications, is helping create opportunities for a new generation of students through Idaho State University’s new Direct Communications Esports Arena.

The $520,000 gift from Direct Communications helped make this state-of-the-art space possible — giving Bengal esports student-athletes a place to compete at the highest level and creating a space for students, high school teams and collegiate teams to gather, compete and build community.

And at the arena’s unveiling, Tim brought his own kids to experience it.

As esports continues to grow, so do the career opportunities surrounding it, from software engineering and broadcasting to aviation, military careers and more.

Here’s to the students building what comes next — and the generations cheering them on. 🐯🎮

Thank you, Direct Communications, for helping make those opportunities possible.
