Office of the President
A message from University of Idaho President Scott Green
For more than 130 years University of Idaho has delivered excellence as the state’s land-grant research university. We offer life-changing educational experiences, conduct unparalleled research and scholarship, and connect statewide with communities and industries. The results make an impact in Idaho, in our region and around the world.
Talented and committed faculty and staff contribute to our progress. But we don’t accomplish our success alone. We are proud to collaborate with our board of regents and other stakeholders in government and education sectors. Our land-grant mission also relies on productive engagement with industries, organizations and commodity groups to deliver outcomes.
As a graduate of University of Idaho, I have firsthand experience with the Vandal success story. I’m looking forward to building on our accomplishments in the years to come. I encourage you to learn more about what’s going on at this great institution. And I welcome the chance to connect. Thank you for your interest in our brave and bold University of Idaho.
