The BHSU Foundation was established in 1975 to promote the welfare and future development of the University’s educational goals. In addition to scholarships, the foundation raises funds for
capital needs on campus as well as academic programs. Since the foundation's inception, it has
given scholarships to some of the most outstanding students in the school's history. The
foundation is led by a 17-member board of directors of which the President is an ex-officio
member. The University also has the Yellow Jacket Foundation which has responsibility to raise
funds specifically for athletics. The assets of the Yellow Jacket Foundation are managed by a joint
finance committee of which the President is an ex-officio member.
Established in 1894, the Alumni Association is a non-dues based organization that sponsors many
events and programs each year that benefit students, alumni, and the University, such as Alumni
Awards Luncheon, Swarm Day events, Alumni Mile, Founder’s Day Luncheon, Spirit of BH Award,
Young Alumni Award, Graduation Rehearsal Reception, various alumni gatherings and reunions,
50 Year Club, Legacy Family Award, and the Alumni Art Show.
University Advancement, on behalf of the association, maintains address information on more than 19,000 former students. The office acts as a campus information and referral center, where alumni can receive answers to their questions about BHSU. Graduates of the University automatically become members of the alumni association upon graduation; non-graduates can become members upon request.
