Letter from the Dean

I hope all is well and each of you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with your friends and family. As we begin 2024, I wanted to write and thank each of you for making 2023 the best year in the history of the Idaho State University College of Business. During the past twelve months, we have made extraordinary progress in every aspect of our strategic plan including:

• The largest single scholarship gift in College history

• The opening of our awesome new spaces as part of the most significant renovation in College history

• Welcoming an incredible new group of professors who have positively impacted our College in countless ways

• The largest single year enrollment increase in the history of the College

• The most scholarship dollars awarded to students in the history of the College

• Two successful faculty searches for new colleagues who will join us this year

• Numerous journal publications and grant awards which will increase the thought leadership and impact of our College for many years to come

As we look ahead, the future has never been brighter for the College of Business. I want to invite each of you to come visit us on campus, see our new spaces and interact with our amazing students, faculty and staff. I want to encourage each of you to continue your support of our students and programs as the momentum we have built is positively changing lives each day. Finally, I want to personally wish everyone a very Happy New Year and thank you for your friendship and support in 2023. The notes, conversations and encouragement I received meant more to me than I can properly articulate and they are something that I will remember forever. 2023 was my favorite year of my whole life, and being part of the amazing ISU College of Business family was a very big part of that.

Thank you all for everything and Go Bengals!
