Be a Beaver

Being a Buena Vista University Beaver means belonging to a community of builders, connectors, and servant leaders. Whether you are a past, present, or future Beaver, you are part of a tradition of people who take action, lift others up, and strengthen the communities around them.

Through these stories, you will see how our alumni continue to live out the values of BVU, shaping their communities, supporting fellow Beavers, and inspiring the next generation. Being a Beaver is a lifelong connection that extends far beyond the classroom.
