How Endowing Faculty Positions Boosts Boise State
Boise State has aspirations — for its students, faculty and the communities it serves. That’s why it prioritizes private support of endowed faculty.
Endowments are investments that yield extra income for instructors and scholars, usually named after donors or their loved ones. They supplement salaries, fund research projects, equip laboratories, pay for travel and other expenses, and hire graduate students.
Endowed faculty positions are a powerful tool in both attracting and retaining the most talented faculty. These prestigious awards directly impact the reputation of the institution and enhance the education opportunities of our students.
Experiential Learning Opportunities
Faculty-led internships, immersive programs, and research opportunities provide real-world experiences that bridge classroom knowledge with practical skills, empowering our students to become adaptable, confident, and future-ready leaders in their chosen fields.
Imagining — and Creating — a School of the Environment
Boise State’s new School of the Environment is a landmark of innovation and interdisciplinary activity.
Long a dream of Boise State students and scholars, the School of the Environment is now a bastion of interdisciplinary learning and research. Officially authorized by the Idaho State Board of Education in 2022, it brings together experts in diverse disciplines, from climate science to history, to create a unique hub for students and faculty tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our age.
I’m trying to understand the physics and biology of how these systems work. We need those humanities and social sciences perspectives. There’s only so much that I as a biophysical scientist can bring to the table in that conversation.
