Vandals dive into their education, searching out opportunities beyond the classroom where they can make a difference. They want to solve practical problems and extend our understanding of the world. Working with U of I faculty, two-thirds of undergraduates at University of Idaho volunteer for out-of-class research, scholarly work and creative activities. In Vandals in Focus 2020, student writers and photographers highlight a few of these outstanding student projects.
