FROM THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
The beginning of a new year is frequently associated with feelings of ambition and hope for the opportunities ahead, along with a renewed sense of purpose and motivation. As I sat down to write out a few goals for 2023 at the beginning of this new year, it reminded me of the new beginning I started several years ago as a brand new student at Idaho State University, and the impact that journey has had on my career and my life.
The start of each new semester at Idaho State brings new students to our campus who are filled with those same feelings of ambition and hope for a brighter future, and we are here to help them accomplish the educational goals they have set for themselves. Every day, we in the College of Business are working hard to make sure that our students have access to the opportunities and support they need to be successful, and so much of that support would not be possible without our alumni and friends.

At the beginning of the fall semester this year, we were able to share the news that over 90 percent of College of Business students who applied for a scholarship received at least some level of support thanks to a significant increase in donor-funded scholarships over the past few years. That support means the world to us, and we can’t thank our donors enough for investing in our students in such a meaningful way. With all that we have accomplished in 2022, and all that we have to look forward to in 2023, we know our best days are still ahead of us. As you reflect on your time at Idaho State and the goals you have set for yourself this year, I would encourage you to consider how you might be able to make a difference in the life of a student this year.
Thank you for your support, and Go Bengals!
