Alumna Alex Miller is back to help Bemidji State defend its Education Cup title at the Bemidji Dragon Boat Festival. She was part of last year’s cup-winning team.

“I’m participating because it’s a great chance to represent BSU in an important community event, and to spend some quality time outside with other BSU folks who want to do the same.” — Brian Hiller associate professor of biology

“Bemidji is a great place to be involved in the community, and being on BSU’s team means that I get to combine my love of community with BSU while having fun!” — Annie Ricks chemistry lab services specialist

Dr. Daniel Guentchev, assistant professor of philosophy, was a member of Bemidji State’s 2013 Dragon Boat team, which captured the festival’s Education Cup.

Sustainability Coordinator Erika Bailey-Johnson will lead nearly two dozen faculty, staff and students in Bemidji State’s annual pursuit of the Education Cup on Aug. 6 at the 11th Lake Bemidji Dragon Boat Festival.
