Autumn arrives on the Boise State campus with shorter days, golden afternoons, and opportunities for reflection and change. Time management and healthy habits become key as first-year students discover the importance of maintaining personal balance. It’s a full-time job to juggle classroom expectations with new friendships, cocurricular activities, and employment too. Make it a tradition to check in with your student regularly and share an encouraging word via phone, Skype, Facebook, or Sunday dinner!

Impress your student with your prowess in Boise State history. Boise State’s famous Buster Bronco mascot and blue and orange colors were chosen by students in 1932 when the institution was originally founded as Boise Junior College. The mascot was selected in homage to the wild horses of the nearby Owyhee Canyonlands.
