Experience the ROAR 2025 Recruitment Open Houses
August 15, 2025
A Message from Robert W. Wagner, Ph.D., President:
As we begin a new year of recruitment, I am thrilled to share the dates for our second year of Experience the Roar, our regional open house series that brings the Bengal spirit directly to students and families in their own communities.
Last fall marked our first shift from a single large recruitment event to these regional experiences.
- 100% satisfaction from attending students and guests
- 127 students scheduled campus tours following the events
- A 44% increase in Fall semester individual campus visits
This incredible success is a direct reflection of your dedication. Your presence, energy, and support helped create memorable experiences that resonated deeply with our future Bengals.
I invite you to once again lend your time and talents to these impactful events.

This year, we are taking these events to the next level with a few important additions:
- Health Science Experience Night will now be held in conjunction with the Treasure Valley Open House in Meridian, offering students expanded opportunities to explore ISU’s premier health programs.
- High school counselors and advisors will be invited to attend and participate in a dedicated update session, will receive a counselor-exclusive gift, as well as connect directly with ISU faculty and staff. This outreach is especially valuable for counselors who may not be able to travel for our on-campus ISU Counselor Day.
- Expanded marketing and increased lead time will elevate awareness and participation thanks to the strong foundation built last year.
Your continued commitment is at the heart of our success. Together, we are not just recruiting students, we’re building futures. Experience the Roar gives us a powerful opportunity to demonstrate the Bengal experience in a meaningful and personal way.
Thank you for all that you do to support our students, our mission, and our momentum. I look forward to taking our ROAR on the road with you once again.
Robert W. Wagner, Ph.D.
President
