April's Young Alum of the Month is Joshua Bohner!

Joshua, a 2023 Computer Science Major, is Cloud Support Engineer I at Amazon Web Services. He provides technical support to internal and external customers through email or live chat. The Writing and Computer Science classes here at BVU helped sharpen his critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing him for this role.

A proud BVU supporter, Joshua credits donor generosity for his journey and gives back because he would not be where he is today without the scholarships and programs made possible by BVU donors. He encourages current and incoming students to not let academics take up all of their time, but to try other things on campus too.

Because of you, International Beaver Day was a huge success. We exceeded our 500-donor goal and saw incredible support across our beaver community.

These numbers reflect what’s shown on the giving page as of 10 a.m. today - we’re still counting, with more updates to come.

And you made it happen - Gina Hartman ’23 will be BVU President for a Day. Stay tuned for more details.

Thank you for making an impact for BVU students.💙
