Kalista Barkley ’24
2027 J.D. Candidate, University of Idaho College of Law
I wanted to participate in the BOLD Committee because I wanted to find a way to still be connected to Boise State and give back for all that the university has done for me in the opportunities they provided for me to succeed. A strong bond of alumni is important to the future success of us all and for the university.

Brett Davis ’17
Owner, Minuteman Press – Meridian and President of the Boise State Alumni Association’s Board of Directors
I feel like there’s been a very negative connotation around getting involved as a recent grad. In the past, it’s felt like the university tries to get you to donate with no real return for your money. I’m hoping as a part of the BOLD Committee, I can help change that perception.

Maria Paluzzi ’18
Pre-Admissions Program Manager, Idaho State Board of Education
I really loved my experiences during my undergrad and when I was at my community college I was involved in Student Affairs events. When I made the move to work at Boise State, I wanted to find more ways to be involved since a lot of my work is for incoming students. Learning about the BOLD Committee, I thought this would be a great opportunity to connect with other alumni to help build opportunities for current students that is provided by alumni, as well as create opportunities for engagement for alumni as something current students can look forward to.

Sierra Sandison ’22
Design Engineer, Trademark Creative
I went from being deeply involved in campus life to two and half years of exciting, but isolating, solo-entrepreneurship, and it made me realize how much I missed the sense of community I had at Boise State. My current role at Trademark has helped me reconnect, this time with the greater Boise community, and it’s been incredibly fun and rewarding. However, the university has played a huge role in shaping who I am, and I joined BOLD because I was looking for ways to stay involved on campus in a more meaningful way. I’ve never missed a football game or a College of Engineering event since graduation, but wanted to be involved in a more official capacity.
As a kid from small town Idaho, I’m passionate about maintaining and growing access to the kind of affordable, high-quality education Boise State provided me. I want to stay involved and help ensure the university continues to thrive for the next generation of students, especially those from rural Idaho like me.
