Rendezvous Center Dedication

A brief program will take place on the east patio of the Rendezvous Center near Cadet Field. Light refreshments will be served, and tours of the Rendezvous Center will also be available for anyone interested.

Richard served as the president of Idaho State from 1985 to 2005, and Connie was a dedicated first lady whose efforts greatly enhanced the University. During their two decades at Idaho State, the Bowens cultivated important community relationships, enhanced long-standing campus traditions, and brought several projects to completion, including the Stephens Performing Arts Center and Rendezvous Center. Their vision for the future and commitment to the University's success prepared Idaho State for growth and increased opportunities. 

The Bowens were awarded the Presidential Medallion during Idaho State University’s Homecoming in 2019, an award they originally created to honor others.
