    It is an exciting time to serve as executive officer of University of Idaho in Idaho Falls. We have a rich 70-year history of offering outstanding educational programs in southeastern Idaho. The Idaho Falls Center plays a significant role in meeting the educational needs of this economically vibrant region. Our long-standing relationship with the Idaho National Laboratory and our sustained affiliation with businesses, non-profits and other educational institutions in southeastern Idaho provide incredible momentum for the future.

In Idaho Falls, our focus on delivering innovative interdisciplinary education and research programs in a student-focused environment benefits hundreds of students currently seeking advanced degrees. We are fortunate to be situated in a unique hub for researchers who work to support the nation’s energy future and homeland security needs.
