Vandals in Town
University of Idaho and the Moscow community come together to make every visitor feel welcome, from future students to proud Vandal alumni.
Each year, more than 1,000 future Vandals and their families come to Moscow for events like UIdaho Bound. But it’s not just recruitment — people visit all year long for games, performances, alumni events and more.
By coming together to offer a warm welcome, we can create memories and connections that help guests become part of the Vandal Family and stay proud Vandals for years to come. Let’s join in welcoming our guests on these dates!
