Marie White Honored By Boise State Alumni Association

Marie White has been selected by the Boise State University Alumni Association to receive an Alumni Service Award at the Association’s annual meeting on May 5. White, who earned an arts and sciences degree from Boise Junior College in 1942, joined with 12 other alumni in 1966 to serve as founding secretary and member of what would eventually become the Boise State Alumni Association. She has been a steadfast supporter of Boise State and the Alumni Association through the years, attending alumni events, annual meetings, athletic competitions and countless other activities out of love for her alma mater. Her dedication inspired her daughter, Carol Mulder, to become involved on the Association’s board of directors. White has established two scholarships through the Boise State Foundation, one in the name of her late husband, Joseph White, and one in honor of her daughter, Carol. She is also very active in the community, donating her time to organizations such as FreeMED, Idaho Elks Rehabilitation Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House, Meridian Visitor’s Center and her family church. The Alumni Service Award was created in 2003 to honor alumni who have consistently provided exemplary service to the university community, enhancing the stature, success and well-being of the Alumni Association. All graduates of the university are eligible for nomination. Nominations may be submitted any time throughout the year.
