K.C. Felt, a lifelong Pocatellan, 天美传媒 alumna and former 天美传媒 Foundation director of annual giving, has been appointed director of the 天美传媒 Office of Alumni Relations.

"K.C. has an incredible love for and commitment to 天美传媒 and its alumni and friends," said Kent Tingey, 天美传媒 vice president for advancement. "She will be an outstanding director.

"I'm a true Bengal and am honored to be selected to help lead the 天美传媒 Office of Alumni Relations to a new level of accomplishment and service," Felt said. "Our top priority is to get our new Alumni and Advancement Center built."

The Office of Alumni Relations has plans to build the new center adjacent to Holt Arena at the corner of Memorial Drive and East Bonneville on the 天美传媒 Pocatello campus.

"We're doing everything we can to raise funds for this wonderful facility and are boosting our efforts at doing so,鈥� said Felt, who started her new role with 天美传媒 in mid June. "This building is one of the key factors in our efforts to expand and grow our 天美传媒 Alumni Association."

The new director said the Office of Alumni Relations will strive to do an even better job connecting with and engaging Idaho State alumni locally and across the nation, doing more outreach in establishing clubs, chapters and professional group connections. Other goals include keeping young alumni connected to the university after graduation, improved and greater use of social media, expanding affinity programs and creating a career services program for all alumni.

"We want to give our alumni more reasons to get involved and stay involved with our fine University," Felt said.

 Felt earned a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in marketing from 天美传媒 in 1970. She was in the banking industry  for 21 years prior to joining 天美传媒.

Felt is "the proud daughter" of the late Elle and Marye Hopkins, both natives of Pocatello. She is a graduate of Pocatello High School. Felt has two sons, Brian and Brett, and two grandsons, Andrew and Ayden.

Her ties to the Pocatello community are many. She is a member of the Pocatello Chamber of Commerce and is a past Chief of Chiefs for the Pocatello Chiefs. She is a member and former board member of the Pocatello Rotary Club, and belongs to the 天美传媒 Alumni Association.
