Outstanding Student

Logan Schmidt

The Outstanding Student Achievement Awards recognizes graduating students who have demonstrated outstanding service to their respective college, to Idaho State University and to the community and who also have exceptional scholastic achievement. Logan Schmidt is one such student. Schmidt has used his university experience to serve the students of ISU. In addition to working as an Ambassador (giving campus tours to prospective students), he has been active in student government, serving as finance officer and ultimately the president of the Associated Students of ISU (ASISU). During his time as the ASISU president, Schmidt assisted in budget allocation, fiscal planning, policy analysis, and is the key liaison for students with faculty, staff, and the administration. This experience led to unique opportunities, such as speaking in front of the Idaho Legislature. One of Schmidt’s treasured opportunities from his time spent at Idaho State University is the satisfaction of seeing new Bengals on campus after recruiting them a year earlier. Schmidt is a member of Kappa Sigma and Beta Alpha Psi. He received career-related experience through an accounting internship with Jordan & Company Chartered and three and a half years working in ISU’s Marketing and Communications Office. He is the recipient of multiple scholarships, including the Rodney L. Lind Scholarship and the Association of Governmental Accountants Scholarship.
