Randy Bowen has been a tireless volunteer and advocate for Bemidji State since graduating with a degree in education. Bowen works as placement coordinator at the College of St. Scholastica in Hermantown.

As a volunteer, he served eight years on the BSU Alumni Association Board of Directors, including six years as an officer, with the last two as president. As president, he represented the Alumni Association at numerous events throughout the state and region, including Commencement ceremonies. After completing two terms of service on the Alumni Board, Bowen was asked to help lead the formation of the Alumni B-Club and was a founding member of the National Alumni Football Committee. He is the B-Club president and helps host the football reunion held each year during Homecoming.

A popular emcee of the B-Club Athletic Hall of Fame induction brunch and various Beaver Pride luncheons, Bowen readily offers to dedicate his time and expertise to assist his alma mater.
