Unlocking Student Engagement: Introducing Beaver Points at HPBSU

At Bemidji State University (HPBSU), student leaders have long recognized a pressing issue - lack of participation in events hosted by clubs and organizations. To address this concern, the BSUSA Student Senate is introducing an innovative solution: the Beaver Points program.

The concept is simple yet effective. Students will earn points for attending events across campus via their Tech IDs or Student ID cards. These points can then be used to bid on attractive prizes during an annual or end-of-semester auction. The expectation is that students will attend as many events as possible to accumulate points, thereby giving them an advantage when bidding on the most coveted prizes.

The Beaver Points program aims to incentivize student involvement and participation in campus events. By doing so, it hopes to improve growth rates for student clubs and organizations across the campus. With a range of prizes available, from TVs and game consoles to gift cards and fishing gear, there's something for everyone.

While the program is still under research and development, and has not been officially approved by the university, its potential impact is undeniable. By providing students with a tangible incentive to attend events, the Beaver Points program offers a real solution to the problem of low student participation.

As a student leader at HPBSU, I believe that this initiative holds great promise for fostering a more engaged and active student body. Have you noticed a lack of student participation in events hosted by clubs and organizations? If so, the Beaver Points program may be just what we need to turn things around.

Stay tuned for updates on the status of the Beaver Points program as it continues to develop and evolve. For now, let's look forward to seeing students from all corners of campus coming together to earn points and have fun!
