Boise State University

Boise State University is a great place to make a living, make a life, and make a difference.

“Boise State is a place brimming with many talented people who are committed to being our best selves for students, staff and faculty. The versatility of the campus has always been impressive.”

– David Weaver Senior Research Analyst, Office of Institutional Effectiveness

“Boise State empowers me to continue to do good work and support the mission of the university: to teach in innovative ways, research to solve complex problems and serve our community and beyond. It also renews the faith in the American Dream which is based on a set of ideals that provides opportunities to people no matter who they are or where they come from. Boise State provides me the platform to celebrate the investment my family has made in me by providing an environment to pursue my dreams. Teaching is a remarkable craft. I am very proud to be part of the education community to serve large numbers of students and it is very heartening to see such efforts are valued at Boise State.”

“I have been very fortunate to experience Boise State as a childhood fan (my parents are Boise State graduates), as a student myself, an alumna, and again as an employee. Boise State is home. When I come to work I am surrounded by individuals who care about me and treat me as part of their family. The campus — especially when classes are in session — has a buzz, a vibrancy and an energetic feeling, unlike any other place I’ve worked. Boise State, and the people who work here, are inspiring. I am honored to be a part of it.”

In my three-plus years at Boise State, I’ve managed to move up faster in my career than “I would have ever thought possible all while doing something I love—bringing high-quality education to any and all students using cutting-edge technology. The incredible team of people I get to work with on a daily basis, combined with a work-life balance that allows me time for my family and friends, is a huge reason I love being a part of the Boise State family.”

“In my job, I get to work with a lot of units and departments across campus helping students and faculty solve problems. We create knowledge not just consume it; and in the process I love that I can foster student success and empowerment by creating a community of learning that directly impacts their success as a student and their success as they enter the workplace. I feel like I am the luckiest person on the campus to do what I do, work where I work; fostering an interdisciplinary community at Boise State University.”
